Notarization stuck in "In Progress" for over 2 hours with valid Developer ID Application certificate

Hello,

I'm trying to notarize my Electron macOS application using a valid Developer ID Application certificate.

Environment:

  • Apple Developer Program: Active
  • Developer ID Application certificate: Successfully created
  • App size: ~130 MB (ZIP)
  • Using notarytool (via electron-builder / GitHub Actions)

The submission was uploaded successfully, and I received a Submission ID.

Submission ID: e48ead02-a837-42cd-9d90-c4c0f014e589

However, the notarization has remained in:

Status: In Progress

for more than 2 hours.

Running both:

xcrun notarytool info <submission-id>

and

xcrun notarytool history

continues to report:

Status: In Progress

No notarization log is available yet.

I have already contacted Apple Developer Support, but I wanted to ask the community:

  1. Is it normal for a notarization submission to remain "In Progress" for several hours?

  2. Has anyone experienced this recently and eventually received an "Accepted" status?

  3. Could this indicate a temporary Apple-side queue or backend issue?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
