Notarization submissions stuck in "In Progress" for over 24 hours (Developer ID)

Hi Apple Developer Support, My Developer ID notarization submissions are stuck in “In Progress” for over 24 hours with no terminal state. Team ID: KYM5Q9Y394 Stuck submissions:

  • e3bedb66-3821-4737-8e9c-c1620e06ffea (2026-06-30T10:54:50.954Z)
  • 5127868d-1953-4ab1-9be7-f26fc14804d9 (2026-06-30T10:45:54.870Z)
  • 830069c1-037f-4bd8-a79a-0f445839603c (2026-06-30T10:38:54.060Z)

All were uploaded via notarytool and remain “In Progress”. Codesign verification passes locally, and earlier submissions were accepted (e.g. 6e1617c3-b612-4fce-9165-286c71dce56d). Could you please check whether these submissions are stuck in backend processing and advise next steps? Thank you.

You can expect that most uploads will be notarised quickly. Occasionally, some uploads are held for additional 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.

OK, so a few days old. That’s longer than usual, but not unprecedented. If your requests are still stuck after a week, reply back here and I’ll dig deeper.
