App Notarization Stuck in "In Process" State – How Long Should It Take?

Hello,

I’m currently in the process of app notarization, but my status is stuck in the "In Process" state, and I’m unsure how long this should take. I’d appreciate any advice or insights.

Issue Description

After submitting my app for notarization, the status has been stuck in "In Process" for an extended period.

There seems to be no progress, and it’s taking longer than I expected for the process to complete.

The status hasn’t changed, and it’s been 5 days since I submitted the app.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue? How long does the notarization process usually take? Any advice on how to resolve this or if there’s something I might be missing?

Thanks in advance for your help!

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.
