Hello, I am following up on several notarization requests in order to understand the process better. I submitted my first notary request yesterday and it took several hours to complete (where I submitted two other requests along the way thinking they may be stuck). They were all accepted after ~3 hours had passed since the first request was made. In that time I discovered a bug and had to rebuild/codesign, and submitted to notarize again. I've now had two requests with the new build (.zip file) "in progress" for ~18 hours. The bug fix I made between builds was innocuous and I'm wondering if my jobs are getting flagged due to recent account lockouts when I was first setting up my organizations' developer account. I've seen several replies here in the forum from DTS Engineers - hi Quinn :), so I'm aware of the possibility of 'rare' in-depth analysis, however I've experienced it in 100% of my requests. What is causing my requests to always require in-depth analysis and is there anything I can do to prevent it? My notarytool history is below for reference. Thank you in advance. createdDate: 2026-03-15T22:59:23.053Z id: 9c7ecc81-daf4-4cae-afe9-7f8186067f79 status: In Progress -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2026-03-15T21:10:04.576Z id: a1df8b50-c897-49f5-ad0d-f2264a03f145 status: In Progress -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2026-03-15T20:41:24.946Z id: 640e7cd6-035f-437b-9eab-9a3db415911a status: Accepted -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2026-03-15T18:40:26.944Z id: 00b9e907-04eb-4561-8353-dae7520202e0 status: Accepted -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2026-03-15T17:16:48.426Z id: 3163ba2b-e3c8-4216-ae8a-bac351b82f8a status: Accepted

I’m looking for guidance from anyone who has experienced a similar situation. I’m a new Apple Developer Program organization member, and this was my first attempt to notarize a macOS app distributed outside the Mac App Store. What happened: My notarization submissions started failing with statusCode 7000 and the message: “Team is not yet configured for notarization.”. I created a support ticket and received the following reply: “We have escalated this issue to our internal team for further investigation and review.” This was more than 2 months ago, and I have not received any further updates since. About 3 weeks later macOS began rejecting my signed app: codesign --verify --deep --strict --verbose=4 succeeds (reports valid signing identity) spctl -a -vv --type exec returns CSSMERR_TP_CERT_REVOKED Around the same time, I also lost access to the Apple Developer portal. When signing in at developer.apple.com/account, I am redirected to the account access support form instead of the dashboard. My app has not been released to users. If there is an issue with my build, signing, entitlements, or packaging, I am fully willing to fix it immediately. What I cannot understand is the lack of any substantive response from Apple Developer Program Support for over 2 months. What I’m trying to understand: Has anyone encountered this combination of issues: statusCode 7000, Developer ID trust/revocation problems, Blocked developer portal access? Is there any documented appeal, review, or remediation process? If Apple believes a team has violated a policy, how is the developer supposed to find out what needs to be fixed? I’m not asking Apple to bypass security checks. I’m asking for a clear explanation and a path to resolve any issue, if one exists. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi there, I signed up for Apple Developer Program a few hours back and am trying to sign and notarize a MacOs App. I am using this command xcrun notarytool history --apple-id "" --password "App-specific-password" --team-id "5XR5PM3Y5S" I keep getting this error. I have verified that the apple-id, password and team-id is accurate. This is surely something on Apple's side. Can you help resolve this ? Error: HTTP status code: 403. Invalid or inaccessible developer team ID for the provided Apple ID. Ensure the Team ID is correct and that you are a member of that team.

I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an Individual on March 16, 2026 (Team ID: CAZ8X23YWW). I've been trying to notarize a macOS Electron desktop app ever since. Every submission is immediately rejected with: Status code: 7000 Message: "Team is not yet configured for notarization" What I've done: Accepted all agreements on developer.apple.com Accepted all agreements on App Store Connect Created a Developer ID Application certificate (G2 Sub-CA) App is properly signed with hardened runtime Submitted a support ticket under "Distribution > Other Distribution Questions" on March 18 — no response after 4 days

We have 8 consecutive notarytool submit submissions for the same .dmg artifact all stuck In Progress with no movement and no logs available. Submission IDs (all Recall-0.3.6-arm64.dmg, Team ID: H9S7XRPUCA): Diagnostic evidence: notarytool log on all 8 returns exit 69 (log not available) — no rejection reason, no processing output The app bundle submitted as a ZIP (same binary, same signing, submission d21e9fea) was accepted in 41 seconds at 2026-03-27T02:15Z A separate probe submission of a small signed binary on the same team (fcf018c5) was accepted in ~5 minutes All prior Recall DMG builds (0.1.0–0.3.5) processed normally in ~8 minutes on this same team Normal processing time for this team/account is ~8 minutes Conclusion: Content and signing are clean. Account queue is healthy. The issue appears specific to the DMG submission path for this build. Requesting Apple investigate the stuck DMG submissions and advise on next steps.

All notarization submissions remain stuck "In Progress" and never complete. Tested both DMG and ZIP formats — same result. This has been consistent across 5+ attempts on March 29, 2026. App: Electron desktop app (arm64), signed with Developer ID Application, hardened runtime enabled, secure timestamp present. DMG submissions (all stuck): 568cc9c3-e711-41ba-99ce-6af5a1860ae9 (10 min timeout) e0a345c3-ddf8-4771-bdda-e0bc133ff723 (20 min timeout) 6757e5a9-d95b-45b3-95d5-41cb23384bea (20 min timeout) ZIP submission (.app bundle via ditto, ~207MB): Also stuck "In Progress" for 10+ minutes notarytool log returns "Submission log is not yet available" for all submissions. Developer ID Notary Service shows "Available" on System Status page. Environment: macOS GitHub Actions runner (macos-latest), latest Xcode, xcrun notarytool. Seeing similar reports from other developers this week. Is there a known service issue?

I'm trying to sign my application but the build times out after 90 minutes waiting for notarytool to return. This seems to be getting worse and worse. I have now updated the timeout to 10hours, to see if I can get a response at all. Something is very wrong with the tool. This was working fine up until about the 28th March 2026.

Hello, I am a new macOS developer. I've been working on my first Mac application and I am trying to notarize it for distribution using notarytool. However, I've encountered a persistent issue where all my submissions are stuck in the "In Progress" status for several days. As this is my first time going through this process, I initially thought I might have done something wrong. However, I have verified my app with codesign --verify --verbose --deep and it returns "valid on disk" and "satisfies its Designated Requirement". I have also tried bumping the version from 0.1.0 to 0.1.1 and removing spaces from the file names, but the new submission is also stuck. Stuck Submission History (Total 4 submissions): ID: 8cb4aebb-e2d5-4091-b279-18272c3a6ca9 (Created: 2026-04-03 - Latest) ID: 0e9a3584-1a21-471a-bc72-4da3f98e2683 (Created: 2026-04-02) ID: 59b70ef1-0b8e-480d-ba33-df872a691610 (Created: 2026-04-01) ID: 685d8fdb-1e55-4cdd-8203-688991c50dd3 (Created: 2026-04-01) As a first-time developer, it’s frustrating to see these initial submissions hang for so long without any logs or errors to troubleshoot. Is there any specific reason why a first-time submission for a new Mac app might be queued this long? I would appreciate it if someone from Apple could help clear these stuck submissions or provide some guidance as to what might be causing this delay. Thank you very much.

Team ID: LA64G2ZMY2. Submission f28e6a62-5a46-4554-a4b9-666269b3017f has been "In Progress" for over 24 hours. App is signed with hardened runtime, valid Developer ID certificate, HFS+ DMG format (not APFS - aware of DTS r. 134264492). Codesign verifies clean. All requirements met per Apple documentation. Is notarization provisioning needed for new accounts?

Our team (AI Eesti OU, Team ID: W4WXCM4DLL) submitted our first app for notarization and both submissions have been stuck "In Progress" for over 20 hours. Submission IDs: 7433a69a-af1a-463a-a9fc-c80526eb6eab (submitted 2026-04-06 19:11 UTC) d033e2f1-9b33-4b7d-8f8d-271c99f1c61c (submitted 2026-04-06 21:03 UTC) The app is signed with Developer ID Application, hardened runtime enabled, and codesign --verify --deep --strict passes. This is our first notarization submission as a new team. Is this expected for first-time submissions, or is something stuck?

We understand first-time submissions may be routed to in-depth analysis, but 24+ hours with no progress on any of the 4 submissions seems unusual. Could someone from Apple check our team's queue status? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, I have two xcrun notarytool submissions stuck in status: In Progress for over 60 hours. Hoping an Apple engineer can take a look, or confirm whether there is an ongoing notarization service incident.

Feedback Assistant FB22576862 — filed 2026-04-22 under Developer Tools > App Notarization > Incorrect/Unexpected Behavior, with attached notarytool poll log showing sustained In Progress. Code-level support request (DTS) — form routes this class of issue out to these Forums (no submit path for notarization service queue issues). Reviewed other Forums threads on similar symptoms from March-April 2026 — multiple teams reporting the same pattern. Asking Can any Apple engineer cross-reference UUIDs A and B against the notarization backend queue state? Is there an ongoing service incident affecting these submissions? Is it safe to resubmit, or will that create duplicate queue entries? Thank you.

Hey everyone, Just enrolled in the Apple Developer Program yesterday and tried to notarize my first macOS app. I submitted via notarytool and the submission has been sitting at "In Progress" for over 22 hours now. I've submitted twice and both are stuck. The app is a macOS utility built with PyInstaller. I signed it with my Developer ID Application cert, enabled hardened runtime, added a secure timestamp, and included the appropriate entitlements. Everything looked fine on my end. When I query with notarytool info it just says status: In Progress. No rejection email, no acceptance email, nothing. Is this a known issue for first-time submissions? Or is there something specific about PyInstaller apps that causes this? Submission IDs if anyone from Apple is reading this: b512bd92-7eca-4975-823e-9561d5c2ad63 f90cd69f-cf36-4762-bcda-0d0b047d5f49 Already filed a support ticket but wanted to check here too.

Firstly - I didn't want to post here but my attempts at support call service and support submit issue service BOTH returned errors to me upon 'send'/'submit'. Maybe this is linked to my post below. So, here's another one to add to the list of recent (stuck/fail) posts: I'm unable to get any notarization submissions processed. Over the past 24 hours I've submitted 10+ builds of my macOS app and every submission remains at "In Progress" indefinitely — none have completed. To isolate the issue, I submitted a minimal test app (a single "Hello World" binary, ~50KB zip) using the same Developer ID certificate and API key credentials. That submission is also stuck at "In Progress," which suggests the issue is account-level rather than app-specific. What I've ruled out: Network issues (tested on multiple networks, all VPN/network extensions disabled) Authentication method (tested both app-specific password and App Store Connect API key) Code signing (signatures verify locally; one earlier submission did return "Invalid" with actionable errors, confirming the service can process my submissions) The Apple Developer System Status page shows all services as available. Could you please look into whether there's a processing issue or hold on my account's notarization queue? Submission IDs (all stuck at "In Progress"): 20e4c082-b682-4135-a85e-3f17280b0085 (minimal test app, 2026-04-23T07:03 UTC) 81835570-8a2c-462c-8d5a-bd25733a17c3 (2026-04-23T06:55 UTC) 5b7f337e-3e3f-4502-9fde-0a625a2061e7 (2026-04-23T03:38 UTC) bebe35f3-2944-40de-9caf-1c43b68986bb (2026-04-23 ~04:00 UTC) 3c010292-10d7-4cfc-80e3-8bdb4cdae669 (2026-04-23 ~04:30 UTC) a5ca8b1c-91c1-48db-a78a-9e4fd83fe27f (2026-04-23T03:38 UTC) 937f7a3c-435a-4b00-b5b5-7330b80855d4 (2026-04-23T01:59 UTC) 61af2ba4-f136-4993-a8fc-9cd18021fbb5 (2026-04-23T03:10 UTC) b1b7769a-9f1c-4d2b-b1f0-3224808cc901 (2026-04-23T00:12 UTC) 74653d5c-2edf-47b4-9cf3-1e8d33630f6b (2026-04-22T13:27 UTC) 961af655-30e3-44d3-a01b-1c69f5bccfa6 (2026-04-22T12:54 UTC) Thank you!

Hi, I have two notarization submissions stuck "In Progress" for over 18 hours. This is my first time notarizing on this Developer ID account. Submission 1: c1ae7112-79d9-4ada-92a8-bcf87930b5a3 (submitted ~24 hours ago) Submission 2: e201629a-35ef-48a9-b6c4-efbdeecee839 (submitted ~12 hours ago) Team ID: PH4PLAN782 Bundle ID: com.SoundHawkStudio.ComboDyn Type: macOS Audio Unit plugin (.component), universal binary (x86_64 + arm64), Developer ID Application signed, hardened runtime enabled. I have also filed support case 102876329587. Both submissions remain In Progress with no transition to Accepted or Invalid. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I have a notarization submission that has been stuck in "In Progress" for over 26 hours with no resolution. Apple's system status page shows no incident for the Developer ID Notary Service. Submission details: Submission ID: 23dc147c-6355-49a8-8ebf-78ae40ba19a3 Team ID: 5DX9FFYJHV App: Chakra Browser (Chromium-based, arm64, macOS) Bundle ID: com.chakra.Browser.development Submitted: 2026-04-22 at 19:09 UTC Current status: In Progress I also have two earlier submissions for the same app that are stuck in the same state: 23fe6ea2-325b-4ae8-84a4-4f913e7d3aea (submitted ~17:58 UTC, same day) 943e737a-1c45-468d-ae6b-1ef7358fc1a5 (submitted ~18:32 UTC, same day) The app is signed with a valid Developer ID Application certificate. The zip is ~243 MB (738 MB app bundle). Entitlements used: com.apple.security.cs.allow-jit, com.apple.security.cs.allow-unsigned-executable-memory, com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation. These are standard for Chromium-based browsers. xcrun notarytool log returns "Submission log is not yet available" for all three submissions, so there is no error output to share. Has anyone seen notarization stuck this long without a reported service incident? Is there anything I can do to get these unblocked, or do I need to file a TSI? Thanks

Hi, I’m requesting investigation of two CtxVault notarization submissions that have remained "In Progress" well past 24 hours. Team ID: DCY4ZS6CS6 App / archive: CtxVault.zip Platform: macOS direct distribution Pending submissions: e2f25e8c-8bf6-44e6-8e60-24b22467b7e6 — created 2026-04-22T12:50:04.988Z — still In Progress 1f41ff2d-cf61-4509-beba-3389f4496ba7 — created 2026-04-22T12:40:23.167Z — still In Progress Context: This is a new Developer ID release path for a personal team. Earlier submissions were Invalid due to unsigned nested Mach-O files inside a bundled Python runtime. That issue was corrected before the two pending submissions above. The current app is signed with Developer ID Application, hardened runtime, and secure timestamps. Local validation passes: codesign --verify --deep --strict spctl assessment on the signed app notarytool accepts the upload and returns submission IDs, but the submissions do not complete and no log is yet available. Earlier invalid submission for context: b4e665a0-98eb-4b92-b44c-58a0a2c6122e Could someone from Apple please confirm whether this team is stuck in queue or under extended review, and whether any team-side provisioning or backend action is needed? I am intentionally not creating more duplicate submissions while these corrected jobs remain pending. Thanks.

Hello, I have been hitting status code 7000 on every notarization submission since April 21, 2026. The notable detail: earlier submissions on April 18 and April 20 from the same team were Accepted normally. Whatever flag flipped between April 20 and April 21 is on the notary side, because nothing changed on my end. Team details Team ID: ZS76A62WJ4 Organization: KENOPA LTD (UK private limited company) Role: Account Holder Apple Developer Program: Active until April 17, 2027 Apple Developer Program License Agreement: accepted April 16, 2026 Paid Apps Agreement, Free Apps Agreement: both Active in App Store Connect W-8BEN-E and banking: Active Certificate Type: Developer ID Application Identity: "Developer ID Application: KENOPA LTD (ZS76A62WJ4)" Valid through 2027-02-01, full chain trusted App details Platform: macOS (native AppKit, Objective-C, no Electron) Hardened runtime: enabled Code signing passes verify and strict checks Sandbox: not used (Developer ID distribution outside the App Store) Submission history (Team ID ZS76A62WJ4) Accepted submissions: 2026-04-18 10:00 UTC 39856e43-... 2026-04-18 10:03 UTC 3edf2f4f-... 2026-04-18 10:25 UTC 858c52e7-... 2026-04-20 17:17 UTC 4766f3ce-... 2026-04-21 03:58 UTC 9eed3336-... 2026-04-21 05:44 UTC b759941f-... Then everything since flips to Rejected with code 7000: 2026-04-21 19:10 UTC bedc99ad-... 2026-04-21 20:24 UTC 4dbb55f0-... 2026-04-22 07:36 UTC 50e1420e-... 2026-04-24 04:11 UTC 7e4adf81-... 2026-04-25 04:31 UTC 4c0367ea-... 2026-04-25 08:02 UTC a3ce5f56-... (still In Progress at the time of posting) I can paste the full submission IDs in a follow-up if helpful. Sample notary log The body of every Rejected log is the same: status: Rejected statusCode: 7000 statusSummary: "Team is not yet configured for notarization. Please contact Developer Programs Support..." Submissions all upload successfully, sit "In Progress" for hours-to-days, then flip to Rejected with this code. What I have verified All four agreements (Apple Developer Program License, Apple Developer Agreement, Paid Apps, Free Apps) are accepted and Active. Re-checked under the Account Holder login on both portals. Banking and W-8BEN-E are Active. Developer ID Application, Apple Distribution, and Apple Development certificates are all valid and the private keys import cleanly. App Store Connect API key works (notarytool history returns the full list with no auth errors). Same codesign invocation, same notarytool submit flags, same hardened runtime entitlements that worked on April 18-20 still produce the rejection on April 21+. Existing support channels Opened a support ticket via the developer contact form under "Development and Technical / Other Development or Technical Questions" (the exact path the error message specifies). Also emailed Developer Programs separately. Question Has anyone with the same "was working, then suddenly 7000 with no other change" pattern had it resolved? I am aware that DTS engineers have stated on this forum that they cannot escalate this. I am trying to get a sense of: Typical resolution time once a Developer Programs case is open (reports range from days to two-plus months). Whether anyone has found a particular wording of the support request that gets routed faster. Whether the Account Holder doing anything specific in the portal (re-accepting an agreement, toggling something in Membership, etc.) ever cleared this for someone. Thanks.
