Error 7000 “Team is not yet configured for notarization” - All submissions rejected
I’m trying to notarize an Electron app for distribution outside the Mac App Store, but every submission is rejected with error 7000. Team Details: Team ID: P3HATASMP9 Organization: Rose Ai Labs, Inc.

Verify an app before sending to Notary service
Hi, we are sending MacOS apps packaged in a ZIP archive or DMG disk image to the Notary Service. Before we send the app for notarization, we check the code signature via command codesign -vvv --deep --strict /path/to/app_or_bundle The result is positive and it does not provide any gaps. (And yes, we are following the inside out code signing approach, mentioned at Using the codesign Tool's --deep Option Correctly) Unfortunately, the result of the Notary service provided that one file has no signature, which was not detected by the signature verification command. The path of the binary was in <app_name>.app.zip/<app_name>.app/Contents/Resources/inst/<binary> How I can be verify like a the Notary service does it on our side? Best regards, Stefan

Notarization rejected statusCode 7000 — membership is ACTIVE
All my notarization submissions are rejected with statusCode 7000 ("Team is not yet configured for notarization"), even though my Apple Developer Program membership has been active since February 26, 2026. Error log: status: Rejected statusCode: 7000 statusSummary: "Team is not yet configured for notarization" My setup: Team ID: 9NL8W3646T Membership: Individual, ACTIVE (confirmed by Apple Support on Feb 26) Certificate: Developer ID Application — valid, signing works Hardened runtime: enabled Latest failed submission: ce6a4ca9-ccc2-4838-b96a-d9ed16557237 (March 6) I have support case 102832266798 open since March 4. Apple responded on March 6, but the email never arrived in my inbox and the portal doesn't let me view the response. Could DTS help enable notarization for my team? This is blocking distribution of my macOS app. Thank you.

First-time notarization submissions stuck "In Progress" for 72+ hours
Hi, I'm a new Developer ID account holder submitting my first app for notarization. All submissions have been stuck "In Progress" for 72+ hours.

That's been fixed in all subsequent submissions. The app is a small macOS menu bar utility (~2 MB DMG), signed with Developer ID Application certificate, hardened runtime enabled, no restricted entitlements. codesign --verify --deep --strict and spctl --assess --type execute both pass locally. Is there a known processing delay for first-time Developer ID accounts, or could something be stuck on the backend? Thanks for any guidance.

Notarization Delay "In Progress"
Hi, I'm trying to notarize a macOS app using xcrun notarytool, but the submission has been stuck in "In Progress" for over 24 hours. Submission ID: a3e0914a-c45f-4614-bd7c-cbae4c7b0b55 Created: 2026-03-08T01:55:29.272Z Team ID: 69YV6P6AKZ It looks like the signature is valid and the only missing step is notarization. I tried submitting twice, but the second submission is also stuck in In Progress. Is this likely a backlog in the notarization service, or is there something that could cause submissions to stay "in progress" for so long? Thanks!

invalid API object reference
I have been code signing my py2app Python applications for over 5 years. Recently, my application notarizes and staples with no errors. However, when I try to verify the signature I get the above error. I do not see any errors in the appropriate notary log file. Can't figure out how to post the log file. The associated ID is: eb78c6b0-cdd2-414f-9dd3-24315a27d457 Can anyone point me to an appropriate reference ?

Notarization submissions stuck in "In Progress" for many hours with no logs
Hi, I currently have multiple notarization submissions that have been stuck in "In Progress" status for many hours without any updates. Here are several examples from my recent submissions: Submission IDs: 01f7a80e-a9cc-49b3-bb93-94b126cf3124 (AutoTyper.dmg) 7af2b25f-e131-40a4-bcd3-0f7583ebbdc2 (AutoTyper.dmg) 2b35ec79-d851-41d6-a900-788d4201a273 (autoclaw-0.2.15.dmg) 8194b1af-a270-4de9-92f1-ce2a8d4782f2 (z-code_0.21.2_aarch64.unnotarized.dmg) 2608dcfc-7652-4efa-97e3-1749e7130dcb (AutoGLM PC.zip) These submissions were created between March 11 and March 12, and all of them remain stuck in the "In Progress" state indefinitely. When checking using: xcrun notarytool history all recent submissions appear as: status: In Progress Additionally: No logs are available for these submissions. notarytool --wait eventually times out after 30 minutes with exit code 124. The app bundles are signed with a valid Developer ID Application certificate. All embedded frameworks and dylibs are individually signed using: --options runtime --timestamp Earlier submissions on the same day (for example df41010c-a3c6-4e2d-a455-b657693e8541) were successfully notarized and returned Accepted, so the signing configuration appears to be correct. Because many submissions across different files (DMG and ZIP) are stuck in the same state, it seems possible that the notarization service queue may be stalled. Could you please help confirm: Whether these notarization submissions are stuck on the Apple notarization service side If there is currently a service issue affecting notarization processing Whether I should cancel and resubmit these uploads Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Developer ID / Notarization / Account Access Issue – No Support Response for 2+ Months
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.

Unable to Notarize: 403 Errors
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.

Notarization stuck "In Progress" — app uses audio, clipboard and accessibility APIs
Hi, My first notarization submission has been stuck in "In Progress" for several hours with no status change. I'm wondering if it's being held for in-depth analysis given the nature of the app. The app is a macOS dictation utility triggered by a global hotkey. It captures audio input, transcribes it, and pastes the result at the cursor position in whatever app the user is focused on. Because of how it works, it relies on a combination of APIs that may be less common in typical submissions: continuous microphone access, programmatic clipboard manipulation, global keyboard event monitoring, and Accessibility APIs to inject text into the frontmost application. This is the first submission for this app, so there's no prior notarization history for the system to learn from. Is this the kind of profile that typically triggers in-depth analysis? Is there anything I should check or provide, or is waiting the right move here? Thanks

notarytool not completing
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.

Verify an app before sending to Notary service
Hi, we are sending MacOS apps packaged in a ZIP archive or DMG disk image to the Notary Service. Before we send the app for notarization, we check the code signature via command codesign -vvv --deep --strict /path/to/app_or_bundle The result is positive and it does not provide any gaps. (And yes, we are following the inside out code signing approach, mentioned at Using the codesign Tool's --deep Option Correctly) Unfortunately, the result of the Notary service provided that one file has no signature, which was not detected by the signature verification command. The path of the binary was in <app_name>.app.zip/<app_name>.app/Contents/Resources/inst/<binary> How I can be verify like a the Notary service does it on our side? Best regards, Stefan

Notarization rejected statusCode 7000 — membership is ACTIVE
All my notarization submissions are rejected with statusCode 7000 ("Team is not yet configured for notarization"), even though my Apple Developer Program membership has been active since February 26, 2026. Error log: status: Rejected statusCode: 7000 statusSummary: "Team is not yet configured for notarization" My setup: Team ID: 9NL8W3646T Membership: Individual, ACTIVE (confirmed by Apple Support on Feb 26) Certificate: Developer ID Application — valid, signing works Hardened runtime: enabled Latest failed submission: ce6a4ca9-ccc2-4838-b96a-d9ed16557237 (March 6) I have support case 102832266798 open since March 4. Apple responded on March 6, but the email never arrived in my inbox and the portal doesn't let me view the response. Could DTS help enable notarization for my team? This is blocking distribution of my macOS app. Thank you.

First-time notarization submissions stuck "In Progress" for 72+ hours
Hi, I'm a new Developer ID account holder submitting my first app for notarization. All submissions have been stuck "In Progress" for 72+ hours.

That's been fixed in all subsequent submissions. The app is a small macOS menu bar utility (~2 MB DMG), signed with Developer ID Application certificate, hardened runtime enabled, no restricted entitlements. codesign --verify --deep --strict and spctl --assess --type execute both pass locally. Is there a known processing delay for first-time Developer ID accounts, or could something be stuck on the backend? Thanks for any guidance.

Notarization Delay "In Progress"
Hi, I'm trying to notarize a macOS app using xcrun notarytool, but the submission has been stuck in "In Progress" for over 24 hours. Submission ID: a3e0914a-c45f-4614-bd7c-cbae4c7b0b55 Created: 2026-03-08T01:55:29.272Z Team ID: 69YV6P6AKZ It looks like the signature is valid and the only missing step is notarization. I tried submitting twice, but the second submission is also stuck in In Progress. Is this likely a backlog in the notarization service, or is there something that could cause submissions to stay "in progress" for so long? Thanks!

invalid API object reference
I have been code signing my py2app Python applications for over 5 years. Recently, my application notarizes and staples with no errors. However, when I try to verify the signature I get the above error. I do not see any errors in the appropriate notary log file. Can't figure out how to post the log file. The associated ID is: eb78c6b0-cdd2-414f-9dd3-24315a27d457 Can anyone point me to an appropriate reference ?

Notarization submissions stuck in "In Progress" for many hours with no logs
Hi, I currently have multiple notarization submissions that have been stuck in "In Progress" status for many hours without any updates. Here are several examples from my recent submissions: Submission IDs: 01f7a80e-a9cc-49b3-bb93-94b126cf3124 (AutoTyper.dmg) 7af2b25f-e131-40a4-bcd3-0f7583ebbdc2 (AutoTyper.dmg) 2b35ec79-d851-41d6-a900-788d4201a273 (autoclaw-0.2.15.dmg) 8194b1af-a270-4de9-92f1-ce2a8d4782f2 (z-code_0.21.2_aarch64.unnotarized.dmg) 2608dcfc-7652-4efa-97e3-1749e7130dcb (AutoGLM PC.zip) These submissions were created between March 11 and March 12, and all of them remain stuck in the "In Progress" state indefinitely. When checking using: xcrun notarytool history all recent submissions appear as: status: In Progress Additionally: No logs are available for these submissions. notarytool --wait eventually times out after 30 minutes with exit code 124. The app bundles are signed with a valid Developer ID Application certificate. All embedded frameworks and dylibs are individually signed using: --options runtime --timestamp Earlier submissions on the same day (for example df41010c-a3c6-4e2d-a455-b657693e8541) were successfully notarized and returned Accepted, so the signing configuration appears to be correct. Because many submissions across different files (DMG and ZIP) are stuck in the same state, it seems possible that the notarization service queue may be stalled. Could you please help confirm: Whether these notarization submissions are stuck on the Apple notarization service side If there is currently a service issue affecting notarization processing Whether I should cancel and resubmit these uploads Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Developer ID / Notarization / Account Access Issue – No Support Response for 2+ Months
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.

Unable to Notarize: 403 Errors
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.

Notarization stuck "In Progress" — app uses audio, clipboard and accessibility APIs
Hi, My first notarization submission has been stuck in "In Progress" for several hours with no status change. I'm wondering if it's being held for in-depth analysis given the nature of the app. The app is a macOS dictation utility triggered by a global hotkey. It captures audio input, transcribes it, and pastes the result at the cursor position in whatever app the user is focused on. Because of how it works, it relies on a combination of APIs that may be less common in typical submissions: continuous microphone access, programmatic clipboard manipulation, global keyboard event monitoring, and Accessibility APIs to inject text into the frontmost application. This is the first submission for this app, so there's no prior notarization history for the system to learn from. Is this the kind of profile that typically triggers in-depth analysis? Is there anything I should check or provide, or is waiting the right move here? Thanks

notarytool not completing
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.

Notarization Taking Days
Hello all, I am attempting to notarize my newly made Mac OS application using the notarization command in VS Code. "/Users/teejgotit/Desktop/Cursor Workspace/Rust CutContour v2/cutcontour-app/src-tauri/target/release/bundle/dmg/CC Studio_0.1.0_aarch64.dmg" \ --key "/Users/teejgotit/AppleCerts/AuthKey_MATVLX3.p8" \ --key-id "MATVLX9" \ --issuer "887ba428-aa39-4fb3-a3dc-f83b9145cab0" \ --wait Only to be met with a continual "Current State: In Progress.." for what has been about 1 day and 16 hours now. Current status: In Progress........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ My app and project are rather small and was curious if this is a normal thing for this to day takes for a first time notarization? Would love any help or feedback.
