This afternoon notarization started throwing an error in terminal. I confirmed that the NOTARIZE_APP_LOG was created, but empty. I have been notarizing our apps on this machine (intel-12.7) with Xcode 13.4.1 for over a year without issue.

...and some more simple command line utilities. I've code signed all executables and binary libraries I could find. This has got rid of most errors already. Now I'm struggling with the "hardened runtime" requirements. I understand I can somehow add entitlements - but have no clue how to do that, and what to add. Somewhere there was reference to PCRE - I don't think Perl uses that itself, but certainly does deal with regexes a lot. How would I add eg. the JIT entitlement (if that was required)? Most documents refer to .mobileprovision files or similar - but I'm dealing with a desktop application. And as all of this is rather non-standard, we don't use Xcode at all. So I wouldn't even know how to use Xcode to create a profile for an an app which is managed completely "outside" of a normal macOS development environment.

After sending the app archive to apple notarization services, I received the following error: "The signature of the binary is invalid". This error is shown for both the arm64 and x86_64 builds of the app. Some details about the project: I have been able to notarize the app in the past, with the latest successful notarization at the start of October. The organization does have a valid developer membership. The app has no new dependencies since the last successful notarization. The project uses automatic managed signing (no visible errors in xcode). What has changed in app and development environment since the last notarization: Updated macOS to macOS 15. Updated to use new Xcode version (16) The organizations membership did expire for a bit, but is now valid. Changed apps target macOS version from 12.3 -> 13.5. What I've tried to debug / resolve this issue: Clean build folder and re-create archive. Waiting a period of time and retrying the notarization. Toggling 'automatic managed signing' off and on. Tried to look through profiles, provisions, certs to see any issues. Debug the issue with 'codesign -vvv --deep --strict /path/to/binary/or/bundle' CLI command (output said binary was valid). (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/resolving-common-notarization-issues) Going back to last successful notarized commit and re-notarizing from that point, but that failed as well (changed version number). Reverted a change of increasing the target macOS version (12.3 -> 13.5). Compare failed notarization app's info.plist to previous info.plist for any obvious errors. I tried to install the previous Xcode version, but it seems to be incompatible with macOS 15. Tried looking online for any other options, but only found a couple similar issues and the suggestions I already tried. I can provide further information if needed.

Hello everyone, I'm encountering significant delays with the notarization process for our Electron application using a newly created developer account. The process is taking an unusually long time (1-2 days), which is disrupting our workflow. Details: We've attempted notarization multiple times over the past 2 weeks. The process consistently takes 8+ hours before I typically abort it. (due going offline etc) Interestingly, when I check the notary history later, it shows the notarization was actually successful. Our application package is relatively large, which might be contributing to the delay (archive: 226 mb, app:800mb) Recent Examples: Current submission (still in progress): 52db12c3-4a54-4e14-9d77-e141d7f28227 Previous successful submission: 49273be6-3e13-4f3f-83a4-945114d899b9 Has anyone else experienced similar issues with notarizing applications? Are there any optimizations or best practices I should implement to reduce these processing times? I'm using the default notarization feature that comes with electron forge. Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Hello everyone, I’m trying to notarize my macOS app (DockIt.zip) using the new notarytool CLI, but every submission remains in In Progress status forever, it never moves to Accepted or Rejected.

I've been successfully notarizing my apps for a year or so now, with intermittent releases every so often, usually succeeding with notarization in a couple of minutes. These apps are all written in Python, but I worked through all the jank required to get them to notarize cleanly a while ago and have no issues since. Today I submitted a couple of builds which have been stuck for hours. They're just "in progress", so no logs I can look at, no emails or anything on my developer account page. How can I begin to debug this? Successfully received submission info createdDate: 2025-06-24T18:43:37.140Z id: 8d1a1ca9-f0ad-426f-a714-89aaf9e01a07 name: pinpal-2025.6.25.for-notarizing.app.zip status: In Progress I should note that in addition to the comment added within 10 minutes of creation of this issue, within the last day, we also have: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/789389 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/789599 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/789995 So it seems pretty likely something is going on on the backend.

I'm building a custom macOS installer for my software, primarily using the builtin tools of codesign, pkgbuild, productbuild and xcrun. My product consist of a list of plugins and a CEP extension for the Adobe After Effect app. All of my bundles and binaries are properly signed using a trusted Apple Developer certificate I've generated, of type Developer ID Application. My installer is a "distribution" pkg, and has this structure(expanding it using pkgutil --expand): SceneTools-3.4.4-osx-installer ├── Distribution ├── miscellaneous.pkg ├── plugins.aftereffects2022.pkg ├── plugins.aftereffects2023.pkg ├── plugins.aftereffects2024.pkg ├── plugins.aftereffects2025.pkg ├── preinstall.pkg ├── Resources ├── scenebuilder.pkg └── uninstaller.pkg Each "child" pkg would install parts of my product in different locations in the target macOS disk(this is why I'm using that kind of style of building the custom installer). Signing each and every bundle or binary of my product, signing the "child" pkg's, then notarizing them works well with no issues, in addition signing the "final" "distribution" using productbuild --sign option also works well, but when trying to notarize the "final" pkg, the notary service fails with this error: { "logFormatVersion": 1, "jobId": "5fb38df9-ef97-4bd3-955e-7783c37ac4a8", "status": "Invalid", "statusSummary": "Archive contains critical validation errors", "statusCode": 4000, "archiveFilename": "SceneTools-3.4.4-osx-installer.pkg", "uploadDate": "2025-06-26T14:14:41.507Z", "sha256": "621de5d887b06ad11214255c6e91ebd9eeffb18ad8f940365f4539bd1902fe9a", "ticketContents": null, "issues": [ { "severity": "error", "code": null, "path": "SceneTools-3.4.4-osx-installer.pkg", "message": "Package SceneTools-3.4.4-osx-installer.pkg has no signed executables or bundles.

I tried various ways of working-around this issue, like: Notarizing the dmg that contains this final pkg - worked, but when opening the pkg, GateKeeper blocks the users from opening it. Wrapping the pkg inside an .app and notarizing the .app - same as above. What am I doing wrong? Does those kind of pkg like my "final" pkg aren't meant to be notarized? if so - how can I solve this GateKeeper blocks? Should I build my final pkg in a different way?

Hi there, I've developed a macOS app in Swift and SwiftUI. I'm planning to distribute the app outside of the App Store, so I'm currently getting it notarized. This is my first time notarizing an application. My application is signed correctly during the build / archive process, but whether I try to notarize the .app via Xcode's organizer or a .dmg via notarytool, it seems to get stuck. The status of Notarization attempts have been been stuck "In Progress", with the earliest attempt approaching 4 days.

Hi, Since about 2 weeks notarytool is not very reliable on our CI/CD server. The tool either exists without printing any reason (killed by a signal; not caused by timeout - we have 6h timeouts and the tool gets killed after about 30 mins) or the process takes a very long time e.g. 2h to complete. We use the same pipeline since at least 2 years and we did not have this problem before. Some problematic calls: createdDate: 2025-01-15T14:50:22.545Z id: ca0faad3-789a-4842-a8c9-14aa7c2297a9 name: xxxxxx status: In Progress -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2025-01-15T14:33:06.813Z id: 22df0da8-70de-4dd9-935d-a26055242014 name: xxxxxx status: In Progress -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2025-01-15T14:18:36.436Z id: 5729b836-69f0-4526-b1d2-7743bd4d57a6 name: xxxxxx status: In Progress -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2025-01-15T14:18:31.716Z id: 58f3c7a1-96bd-4f5d-8a3c-6860f925659e name: xxxxxx status: In Progress Can anyone check why the tool is taking now way more time than before to process a submission? The app that we are notarizing did not change that much.

I've tried to sign/notarize/staple my Electron app via electron-builder, using electron-notarize. I tried it as well in cmd line - both times, same result. Code signing runs without a problem.

Hi everyone, Native Instruments is encountering a critical issue with the notarization process. The xcrun notary submit command appears to be stuck and is not completing, preventing us from notarizing our apps. Specifically, the command hangs indefinitely. This issue started today. We've already tried the following troubleshooting steps: Cancelling and re-running the command Checking my internet connection Checking the Apple System Status page Cleaning the build folder using a different machine This is a major blocker for our company, as it's preventing from from us from testing and releasing some of our products. It seems to be a similar issue as reported in https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/772542?page=2. Has anyone else experienced xcrun notary submit getting stuck like this? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm particularly interested in knowing if there are any known issues with the notarization service currently. Details about my setup: Xcode Version: 16.1 macOS Version: 14.7.1 App Type: macOS app Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi everyone! I've send my .dmg file for notarization, it has been accepted on March 5. Since then there weren't any updates, it hasn't changed its status. What might be the problem? Info about submission: createdDate: 2025-03-05T12:13:18.802Z id: 202d877d-d0c4-4211-bba4-6ebdb169a843 status: Accepted

For years, I've been shipping my apps with a Perl script that now invokes notarytool to get the notarization, using this command /usr/bin/xcrun notarytool submit --apple-id jerry@sheepsystems.com --keychain-profile SSYShipProduct --team-id 4MAMECY9VS --output-format json /Users/jk/blah/blah/MyApp.zip --wait I used this script with this command several times during September 2024 to ship my apps, and it worked. But now, the above command fails with: Error: No Keychain password item found for profile: SSYShipProduct Run 'notarytool store-credentials' to create another credential profile. Of course, I am now running later versions of macOS beta and Xcode than I was in September. Does anyone know the problem? Screenshots from Terminal and Keychain Access are attached. Thank you.

Hi, we have .pkg install package consisting of various sub packages. One of them contains presets and needs to be installed the the default preset location /Library/Audio/Presets. If this non-binary preset package is the only one in a .pkg choice notarization fails with: "logFormatVersion": 1, "jobId": "*", "status": "Invalid", "statusSummary": "Archive contains critical validation errors", "statusCode": 4000, "archiveFilename": "mypackage.pkg.zip", "uploadDate": "2024-08-22T21:24:03.251Z", "sha256": "*", "ticketContents": null, "issues": [ { "severity": "error", "code": null, "path": "mypackage.pkg.zip", "message": "Package mypackage.pkg.zip has no signed executables or bundles. No tickets can be generated.", "docUrl": null, "architecture": null }, { "severity": "warning", "code": null, "path": "mypackage.pkg.zip/mypackage.pkg", "message": "b\"Invalid component package: mypackage_vstpreset Distribution file's value: #com.mycompany.mypackage.vstpreset.pkg\\n\"", "docUrl": null, "architecture": null } ] } Not sure, but maybe its worth noting that the causing sub packge only generates a warning, but the parent package seems to escalate this into an error. How can a non-binary sub package be included in a notarized parent package? Any hints or thoughts are highly appreciated, Thanks!

I am packaging an app with QtWebEngine in it, after codesign the app and the QtWebEngine Framework, the app can run properly. The codesign result is: valid on disk staisfies its Designated requirements Then I notarized and stapled the dmg file, after the dmg installed on Mac, gatekeeper still failed the check. Here is the result for spctl: spctl -a -t open -vvv --context context:primary-signatue Remote\ Graphics\ Workstation_.dmg Remote Graphics Workstation_.dmg: rejected source=Insufficient Context Need help to identify the codesign process and the root cause why gatekeeper fail here, thanks.

Hi all, Occasionally, our systems grind to a halt because an agreement needs signed. As you can imagine this always happens at an inconvenient time. Is there a programmatic way we can know about this, before it happens? How is everyone else handling this? From a search through threads here and documentation, I don't see anything and thus I don't think this is possible to script, but wanted to double check. If not possible, what kind of grace period is there between when developer.apple.com mentions something will need signed, and when it stops working? I'm not the one who can sign, so can a non-signer see this? This part is basically asking: How often does someone have to log on to "poll" for this and can this be me or does it have to be the person with access to sign the agreements. Does the system maybe send out an email to the signer about these (in advance), that he's maybe not seeing? Thanks!

I'm trying to distribute my macOS application (a .dmg file) to customers, and I've followed all the steps to sign and notarize the application. However, when I try to install the .dmg containing the app, Gatekeeper rejects it with the error "AppName cannot be opened because developer is not verified". Even though I’ve signed the app with my Developer ID, notarized it, and verified the signature using codesign, I am still encountering issues when attempting to install or open the app on a clean macOS environment. Here’s the error I see when using spctl to check the .dmg: spctl --assess --type open --verbose=4 output/App.dmg output/App.dmg: rejected source=Insufficient Context When trying: spctl -a -t open -vvv --context context:primary-signature output/App.dmg output/Unbounded.dmg: accepted source=Notarized Developer ID origin=Developer ID Application: My .app is signed and notarised by electron builder and I explicitly signed and notarised dmg too but still not working
