Notary submissions stuck in “In Progress” for several days
I am experiencing an issue where multiple notarization submissions remain in “In Progress” status for an unusually long time. Some submissions are approaching one week without any result. Current affected submissions: ID: 381ea19f-ed44-411b-a283-1dab2845538c File: test-signed.pkg Submitted: 2026-06-04 07:03 UTC Stuck for approximately 65 hours ID: 3ba2198a-fd72-4936-a197-c54d13ed728d Submitted: 2026-06-01 11:52 UTC Stuck for approximately 132 hours ID: bca23b30-e944-442b-8fde-041dd4f22d7b Submitted: 2026-05-31 15:14 UTC Stuck for approximately 177 hours ID: 5f923382-393a-485c-8eec-64bafac1be65 Submitted: 2026-05-31 15:07 UTC Stuck for approximately 177 hours The issue affects both production packages and simple test-signed packages. All submissions remain in the “In Progress” state and never move forward.

First-time enrolment: all notarisation submissions stuck "In Progress" 7+ days (Team ZH3S4VZT33)
This is the first notarisation activity on a newly enrolled Developer Program account. Every submission has been stuck "In Progress" with no terminal status and no log available. Oldest stuck request: UUID: bfb5a0e3-31a2-4dcd-a1c6-2f26ce6e62dd Created: 2026-05-29T13:43:22Z Team ID: ZH3S4VZT33 It has now been more than 7 days. I understand first-time submissions can be held for in-depth analysis, which is why I waited a full week before posting. Evidence this is account/team-level rather than specific to one app: A second submission the same day (e42fb5f4-8fc7-4eec-9eef-9764e756b444) and a separate throwaway probe app submitted 2026-06-01 (0333a989-3a9f-44b1-98e6-69f9ee4028e4) are all stuck "In Progress" too. xcrun notarytool log <id> returns "Submission log is not yet available" for all of them. No rejection email at the Apple ID address. Apple System Status shows Developer ID Notary Service as Available. Could someone from the notary service team check the queue for Team ID ZH3S4VZT33 and advise whether these are in the in-depth-analysis path? Happy to provide codesign output or additional UUIDs.

Notarization submissions stuck "In Progress" for 17-60+ hours, status page green
Hi, I'm a new Apple Developer Program enrollee (1 week in) shipping a Mac app via Developer ID + notarytool. Hardened runtime enabled, properly timestamped, all embedded Mach-O signed inside-out. 10 submissions are stuck "In Progress" - the oldest from 2026-06-07 (60+ hours ago). One Invalid verdict came back on 2026-06-08 for a real signing issue (unsigned PyQt5 framework binaries) which I've since fixed; the 10 newer submissions should pass cleanly. Apple's system status page has shown Developer ID Notary Service as green ("Operational") this entire time. This appears to be a queue issue specific to my account, not a service-wide outage. xcrun notarytool history: createdDate: 2026-06-09T16:26:37Z id: 4c928b64... status: In Progress (17h) createdDate: 2026-06-09T16:25:26Z id: 74e9feed... status: In Progress (17h) createdDate: 2026-06-08T21:13:31Z id: 8b246574... status: In Progress (37h) createdDate: 2026-06-08T20:59:37Z id: 4a529617... status: In Progress (37h) createdDate: 2026-06-08T18:49:33Z id: ff43d591... status: In Progress (39h) createdDate: 2026-06-08T18:46:27Z id: 60579d8d... status: In Progress (39h) createdDate: 2026-06-08T18:36:02Z id: a82fd14b... status: In Progress (39h) createdDate: 2026-06-08T18:22:45Z id: 4514a5cb... status: In Progress (39h) createdDate: 2026-06-07T21:20:09Z id: 700c8413... status: In Progress (60h) createdDate: 2026-06-07T20:18:08Z id: 2ea83c6c... status: In Progress (60h) xcrun notarytool info on each returns "status: In Progress" with no processedDate set. I understand new submitters can get held for extended in-depth analysis on first submissions, but 60+ hours is past any documented expectation for that. Could a DTS engineer please look at the backend logs and either release the queue or tell me what's specifically blocking these submissions? Thanks!

Urgent escalation required: paid Developer Program account unusable for notarization for more than two weeks
Hello Apple Developer Support, I am requesting maximum escalation for this case. My paid Apple Developer Program account has been unusable for Developer ID notarization for more than two weeks. This blocks macOS distribution entirely, despite the fact that the membership is active and all visible account requirements appear to be completed. Team ID: GRP4HM9M63 Apple Developer Program: Active Account status already checked: Apple Developer Program membership is active Apple Developer Program License Agreement is accepted Apple Developer Agreement is accepted Free Apps Agreement is active W-8BEN tax form is active Developer ID Application certificate exists and is active The applications are signed with Developer ID Application Hardened Runtime is enabled Local codesign verification passes Despite this, notarization is still unavailable for this Team. This is not an issue with a specific app, archive, DMG, ZIP, signing configuration, or binary validation. Multiple different apps and archives are rejected with the same account-level error before binary validation. Recent failed submissions: Cassini.zip Submission ID: a429460d-cdf9-47cc-9731-90bac71286af Status: Rejected Status code: 7000 Status summary: “Team is not yet configured for notarization. Please contact Developer Programs Support at developer.apple.com under the topic Development and Technical / Other Development or Technical Questions.” Issues: null Lunoura.zip Submission ID: 3aa46853-b3c7-4076-a08d-f9e4db9bea64 Status: Rejected Status code: 7000 Status summary: “Team is not yet configured for notarization. Please contact Developer Programs Support at developer.apple.com under the topic Development and Technical / Other Development or Technical Questions.” Issues: null Earlier submissions for Cassini.dmg and Cassini.zip were also rejected with the same statusCode 7000. Since multiple unrelated archives are affected and all logs contain issues: null, this clearly appears to be a Developer Team/account configuration issue on Apple’s side, not an application validation issue. Please escalate this case to the appropriate Developer Program / notarization backend team and urgently check the notarization configuration for Team ID GRP4HM9M63. Please explicitly confirm: Whether Team ID GRP4HM9M63 is currently enabled for Developer ID notarization. Whether there is any hidden account, KYC, legal, compliance, tax, or backend configuration issue blocking notarization. Whether Paid Applications Agreement or bank account setup is required for Developer ID notarization, even though we are not distributing paid apps. What exact action is required from our side. When this paid Developer Program account will become usable for Developer ID notarization. This issue has already blocked us for more than two weeks. We are paying for Apple Developer Program membership, but cannot use a critical Developer ID distribution feature.

Notary service: submissions stuck "In Progress" for days, never completing
I'm hitting what looks like a service-side notarization problem and could use a pointer on how to get it escalated. Over the past 3 days I've submitted 9 times with notarytool. Only 2 came back Accepted. The other 7 are stuck at "In Progress" and never reach a terminal state, no Accepted, no Invalid, no log (notarytool log says it isn't available yet), and no email. The oldest has been sitting ~71 hours. Signing checks out: codesign --verify --deep --strict passes and satisfies the Designated Requirement, hardened runtime with a secure timestamp, no get-task-allow, signed with my Developer ID, and the DMGs are signed before submission. The 2 submissions that completed were Accepted, so credentials and signing are fine. It really looks like the service just isn't processing most of my submissions. This is a newly enrolled account, and I've filed FB22939442 and have an open Developer Support case. Is this a known issue for new accounts, and is there a way to get these submissions looked at? Environment: macOS 26.2, Xcode 26.5, notarytool 1.1.2 (41).

Notarization Stuck
Seeing my notarizations getting stuck. This is becoming a blocker for releasing. What's strange is that earlier versions of the same app (very similar) passed notarization very quickly. Any advice or recourse?
