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: 8a2bd38d-08da-46c0-afdf-f37b63ae4e82

However, the notarization has remained in:

Status: In Progress

for more than 3 hours.

Running both:

xcrun notarytool info <submission-id>

and

xcrun notarytool history

continues to report:

Status: In Progress

No notarization log is available yet.

Is it normal for a notarization submission to remain "In Progress" for several hours? And if its pulled to deeper checks, is there a way of knowing that is so, and its not just stuck. Knowing it could be crucial so I am not wasting my time on a stuck progress loop.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

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.

And if its pulled to deeper checks, is there a way of knowing that is so

Currently no, although this is a much requested feature (r. 170230393).
