I'm experiencing a persistent issue where all my notarization submissions remain stuck in "In Progress" indefinitely. This is my first time notarizing an app. Environment:

macOS 26.2 (Tahoe) Using xcrun notarytool submit Team ID: Y7T24GD249 App: Electron-based desktop application (~400MB)

Stuck submissions (oldest to newest):

51412777-848c-4be1-a952-5ff32d6653f9 - Feb 4, 4:39 PM UTC (48+ hours) 9c4f94a1-d59a-4607-adf1-94c82fb4254b - Feb 4, 11:23 PM UTC 1c593512-ef55-4801-ba60-8b1bbc5a6f66 - Feb 4, 11:30 PM UTC de66e5cf-143c-40ec-ba62-2f07609044b4 - Feb 5, 1:39 PM UTC 964b2196-ad2e-4503-b15f-dc7f6a996ef0 - Feb 5, 2:25 PM UTC c8fdcccf-46cd-4609-bc33-faaa8fad696f - Feb 6, 5:11 PM UTC

What I've tried:

Verified Developer ID Application certificate is valid Checked code signatures with codesign -vvv --deep --strict Submitted both .zip and .dmg formats Checked Apple System Status (shows operational) notarytool log returns "Record not found" for all submissions

Is there a known issue affecting first-time notarization, or could my account be flagged? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can expect that most uploads will be notarised quickly. Occasionally, some uploads are held for in-depth analysis and may take longer to complete. As you notarise your apps, the system will learn how to recognise them, and you should see fewer delays.

For lots of additional info about notarisation, see Notarisation Resources. Specifically, it links to a Q&A with the notary service team that’s quite instructive.

Thanks Quinn, but my oldest submission is now over 63 hours stuck "In Progress" with no movement. This seems beyond normal "in-depth analysis." createdDate: 2026-02-04T16:39:13.110Z (63+ hours) id: 51412777-848c-4be1-a952-5ff32d6653f9 status: In Progress

All 6 submissions stuck. notarytool log returns "Record not found" for all of them. Team ID: Y7T24GD249

Is there someone who can check if these are stuck in a queue?

All 6 submissions stuck.

Yep. That’s typical of what I’ve seen developer report in cases like this.

my oldest submission is now over 63 hours stuck "In Progress"

Indeed. That’s longer that typical, but certainly not unheard of. If it stays stuck that way for longer than a week, ping me here and I’ll dig deeper.

Have you had any luck on this? I am having the same exact issue with all of my notary attempts staying stuck at "in Progress"
