I submitted a mac app for Notarization. For the first few tries the Notarization failed with an error "Team is not yet configured for Notarization" but few days after my account started to show "ENROLL" option again even though my membership was set to expire on 2026. I am doubting my account has been suspended. I have not received any emails from apple regarding the suspension. I have contacted support but no help yet ! This was the second year, i was paying for the membership. Could you please help me to -
Help me get the account unsuspended (if it is, as there is no notification or information regarding this)
If the account is suspended due to my app being submitted for Notarization then help me identify the reason so that i can fix them.

Hi guys,
I am new to publishing apps on Apple Store. I used python, pyside6, torch, pyinstaller to build an app for Apple Store.
For codesigning, I used the correct "Developer ID Application" to sign the code. When I validate the .app file (codesign -vv --strict ), I got the following
my_app.app: valid on disk
my_app.app: satisfies its Designated Requirement
Next, I used ditto to "ditto -c -k --sequesterRsrc --keepParent my_app.app my_app.zip" to zip it.
Then, I submitted this my_app.zip file for notarization with "xcrun notarytool submit ..." and got the following "accepted" message.
Received new status: Accepted
Current status: Accepted...............
[20:08:54.530Z] Info [API] Submission in terminal status: Accepted
Processing complete
After that, I want to staple it with "xcrun stapler staple my_app.app", but I got the following
Could not validate ticket for my_app.app
The staple and validate action failed! Error 65.
To further investigate it, I ran "spctl -a -vvv my_app.app" and got
my_app.app: rejected
source=Unnotarized Developer ID
origin=Developer ID Application...
I don't know why this would happen after notarization accepted. Could someone help me understand this issue? Thanks!
My notarization submission been "In Progress" status for over 30 minutes now. I thought this process should be much faster.
see:
xcrun notarytool history --apple-id "devxxfishpond.sh" --team-id "XMXG6C4***" --password "hedi-xzkt-xxxxxxxx"

Its a go app; not simple but not very complicated. It is my first time notarising but even then should it take this long?? 3 days is ridiculous!
Hello Apple Support,
While attempting to staple a notarization ticket for our signed installer package, the stapler command fails with Error 65. Upon investigation, we found that connections to oscdn.apple.com present an SSL certificate issued to a248.e.akamai.net, which does not include oscdn.apple.com in its Subject Alternative Name (SAN).
This mismatch prevents our macOS environment from validating tickets and completing the stapling process.
Steps tried:
Verified notarization status (Accepted).
DNS flushed, tried different DNS (8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1).
curl to oscdn.apple.com consistently fails with SSL error 60.
Please advise on resolving this certificate mismatch.
also when I try to run the stapler command with my pkg
"xcrun stapler staple/Users/mactest/Desktop/IPMPlus_Macos_Installer.signed.pkg"
getting the output like :-
Processing: /Users/mactest/Desktop/IPMPlus_Macos_Installer.signed.pkg
Could not validate ticket for /Users/mac-test/Desktop/IPMPlus_Macos_Installer.signed.pkg
The staple and validate action failed! Error 65.
please help
Thank you.
Tried notarizing my app yesterday afternoon via Mac terminal, and when I came back to work this morning it was still "In Process...". I closed terminal, and checked appleid.apple.com, and it was asking me to reset my password- maybe because the notarization timed out?
Either way, I reset my password, generated a new app-specific password and tried notarizing the app again, but it's now been 3 hours and it's still "In Process..." again.
When I check the status via terminal, nothing seems off- and the status is In Progress.
How can I determine if there's a bigger issue I need to fix before notarizing?

Hello,
I'm currently trying to upload a new version of an existing application. But each time I try to validate the archive of the application, I got the following error in Xcode (v16.2) :
Invalid code signing entitlements. Your application bundle’s signature contains code signing entitlements that aren’t supported on macOS. Specifically, the “37CG5MY799.com.example.app” value for the com.apple.application-identifier key in “com.example.app.pkg/Payload/app.app/Contents/MacOS/app” isn’t supported. This value should be a string that starts with your Team ID, followed by a dot (“.”), followed by the bundle ID.
I suspect that there is a problem with the App ID Prefix (that is 37CG5MY799 for the app) when our team ID is E4R7RJ7LA3 but I cannot find a solution.
I asked the Apple Developer Support for help and I have read the documentation they sent but it couldn't solve this problem so they redirected me to the forums.
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/qa/qa1879/_index.html
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2318/_index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40013777-CH1-OVERVIEW
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2318/_index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40013777-CH1-TNTAG33
There isn't any obvious App ID Prefix mismatch in the entitlement between the Application's signature entitlement and the Embedded provisioning profile entitlement .
Application's signature entitlement :
<dict>
<key>com.apple.application-identifier</key>
<string>37CG5MY799.com.example.app</string>
<key>com.apple.developer.team-identifier</key>
<string>E4R7RJ7LA3</string>
<key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key>
<true/>
<key>com.apple.security.application-groups</key>
<array>
<string>group.com.example.app</string>
</array>
<key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only</key>
<true/>
</dict>
Embedded provisioning profile entitlement :
<dict>
<key>com.apple.security.application-groups</key>
<array>
<string>group.com.example.app</string>
<string>E4R7RJ7LA3.*</string>
</array>
<key>com.apple.application-identifier</key>
<string>37CG5MY799.com.example.app</string>
<key>keychain-access-groups</key>
<array>
<string>37CG5MY799.*</string>
</array>
<key>com.apple.developer.team-identifier</key>
<string>E4R7RJ7LA3</string>
</dict>
The app also have a browser extension that correctly use the Team ID.
How to solve this problem ?
Thanks for your time,
Qeg
I am building an electron app bundled with python. My code signing was fast, but when it came to notarization, it has already taken over 6+ hours. How can I speed things up?
Hey, when I try to launch my app it prompts me with a "Apple could not verify" popup. The thing is the app has been signed and stapled.
xcrun stapler validate .app for my app returns "The validate action worked!"
If I also run syspolicy_check distribution .app it returns: "App passed all pre-distribution checks and is ready for distribution"
Any idea?
Whilst waiting for the company developer account I successfully notarised an app/pkg
On switching to the company account the app/pkg has been stuck in progress for over 2 days (see below)
The initial submission was via Xcode and later via command line.
The last one was when I updated bundle ids etc and built with Github Actions.
The initial submission did coincide with a service outage, however that is marked as resolved.
I would like to cancel all of them now that I have switched the signing account and the bundle ID but there seems no way to do this?
Thoughts and comments welcome.
Thanks
Paul

我是一名开发人员。除了App Store,我们公司的官方网站也是软件下载的一种方式。DMG签名提交后,通过网站下载安装软件时,仍然有提示说来自身份不明的开发者。您能告诉我如何解决这个问题吗?如果你能用中文回复就最好了。

Notarization
I have an application that I have been signing, notarizing and distributing to beta testers for a year with no issues, note: I have never got stapling to work I always get a error 65 in the process. But up until yesterday that hasn't been an issue and online verification has always worked. Yesterday morning around 9am online gatekeeper verification has been failing with:
APP not opened,
apple cannot verify app is free of malware. etc
this keeps happening, with every build I try. redownloading previously successful builds show the same behavior
I know I can allow in privacy and security, but heading towards launch I dont want to have to tell users to do that.
has there been a change in how gatekeeper works or issues with the service?
any help with this or getting stapling working would be very appreciated!
