I'm submitting my first macOS app (an Electron app, signed with Developer ID Application certificate and hardened runtime) for notarization using xcrun notarytool submit with App Store Connect API key authentication.
All 6 of my submissions have been stuck at "In Progress" for over 24 hours now. The oldest submission is 27+ hours old. None have transitioned to Accepted or
Invalid.
Here's what I've verified:
Code signing is valid: codesign --verify --deep --strict passes
Hardened runtime is enabled
Uploads succeed: Each submission receives a valid submission ID and the file uploads successfully to Apple's servers
API key auth is working: Using App Store Connect API key (.p8 file), Key ID, and Issuer ID
Tried both locally and via GitHub Actions CI — same result
Polling Apple's status endpoint eventually times out with NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1001 "The request timed out" when checking
https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/notary/v2/submissions/<id>
Logs are not available (notarytool log returns "not yet available" for all submissions)
Apple Developer System Status shows "Developer ID Notary Service" as Available

This is my first time notarizing any app on this developer account. I've seen other threads mentioning that first-time submissions can be "held for in-depth
analysis," but 24+ hours with no feedback at all seems excessive.
Is anyone else currently experiencing this? Is there anything I can do to unblock my account's notarization queue, or do I just need to wait? Any guidance from DTS
would be greatly appreciated.
I've also emailed Apple Developer Support but haven't received a response yet.
I'm submitting a native macOS app (Swift/SwiftUI, arm64) that includes Sparkle.framework for auto-updates. All binaries are signed with a Developer ID Application certificate using --options runtime and --timestamp.
I've submitted 12+ times over the past two days, both from local notarytool submit and from GitHub Actions CI. Every submission uploads successfully and returns a valid submission ID, but then stays at "In Progress" indefinitely — none have resolved to Accepted or Invalid.
Two early submissions did eventually come back "Invalid" — Apple's rejection log showed the Sparkle nested binaries had ad-hoc signatures (they were being signed as individual Mach-O files instead of bundle directories). I fixed this with proper inside-out bundle signing. Since the fix, local codesign --verify --deep --strict passes cleanly, but all ~10 subsequent submissions remain stuck at "In Progress".

Would appreciate any guidance, or if someone from the notary team could check our queue. Happy to provide specific submission IDs.

Hello,
I’m currently in the process of app notarization, but my status is stuck in the "In Process" state, and I’m unsure how long this should take. I’d appreciate any advice or insights.
Issue Description
After submitting my app for notarization, the status has been stuck in "In Process" for an extended period.
There seems to be no progress, and it’s taking longer than I expected for the process to complete.
The status hasn’t changed, and it’s been 5 days since I submitted the app.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue? How long does the notarization process usually take? Any advice on how to resolve this or if there’s something I might be missing?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I've submitted a few first notarizations for my electron app - I've verified with all the QA and resources that I am doing the correct thing - but its silently just holding all my notarization requests on apples side with no logs. I'm trying to launch my app this week - how should I proceed?

Notarization
Hi guys,
I am new to the Apple Developer Program (enrolled a few days ago) and this is my first
app notarization attempt. I've been experiencing significant delays - all submissions
have been stuck at "In Progress" for over 24 hours.
Details:
macOS app signed with Developer ID Application certificate
Using xcrun notarytool with app-specific password
Hardened runtime enabled
codesign --verify --deep --strict passes
Team ID: QVHM976XC5
Submission IDs (all stuck "In Progress"):
5f494a89-0db0-4cc6-944f-ca2fe399e870 (latest - 8+ hours)
938f6b8d-0d00-45f5-861d-68fe470df6c2
d0edcbfe-8464-455f-b077-bebaa5b9aab7
I understand new developers may experience longer initial processing, but 24+ hours
seems excessive. Is there anything I should check or any additional steps required
for new accounts?
Any guidance appreciated.

Hi! I am encountering an issue with the notarization process.
I'll leave here the outputs of a few command that I think might be useful.
user@AndreisMac % pkgutil --check-signature mypkg.pkg
Package "mypkg.pkg":
Status: signed by a developer certificate issued by Apple for distribution
Notarization: trusted by the Apple notary service

user@AndreisMac % spctl -a -vv --type install mypkg.pkg

origin=Developer ID Installer: MyComp LLC (ABCD)
user@AndreisMac % xcrun notarytool submit mypkg.pkg --keychain-profile "notary-profile" --wait
Conducting pre-submission checks for mypkg.pkg and initiating connection to the Apple notary service...

Successfully uploaded file

id: e76f34b3-7c91-451c-a539-8fb39809a5bd
status: Accepted
user@AndreisMac % spctl -a -vv --type install mypkg.pkg
mypkg.pkg: rejected
origin=Developer ID Installer: MyComp LLC (ABCD)
As you can see:
the installer is signed with a Developer ID Installer (the contents are signed and notarized as well)
the first spctl check is failing(even if the installer was already notarized on our build server)
trying to notarize again seems to work
checking again still shows the installer as rejected
I can run the installer locally by removing the quarantine flag, but this is not what I am expecting from a signed¬arized installer.
Interestingly enough, trying this installer on a different MacOS machine works as expected(no quarantine) and spctl shows it as notarized(Accepted).
Any idea what's wrong with my machine?
Made a notarization request a few hours ago and woke up to check the history and it's no longer available. Not rejected/accepted just not found. I have gone ahead to make another request but I have no confidence because I expect the same thing to happen again. Any guidance?

Hi everyone,
For the past three days I've been unable to notarize my app — every attempt fails with an HTTP 500 error from Apple's notarization service. What's unusual is that the error occurs not only during submission, but also when simply validating credentials via store-credentials.
Example:
$ xcrun notarytool store-credentials "notarytool-password" \
--apple-id <id> --team-id <team> --password <app-specific-password>
Validating your credentials...
Error: HTTP status code: 500. Internal Server Error
Request ID: K6NYCMIFNM66OI2WRG3ORZEDUE.0.0
Please try again at a later time.
Since the failure happens at credential validation — before any package is even uploaded — I'm fairly confident this is a server-side issue, not something wrong with my setup or the binary. I've tried across different network connections, same result.
Has anyone else been hitting this? Is there a known outage or incident on Apple's notarization infrastructure? Any way to escalate or get a status update beyond checking developer.apple.com/system-status/?
Thanks
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?
I am trying to notarize my app but it rejected with this error after 5 days of being in progress.

The process has been stuck "In Progress" for 8 days now. We had a scheduled New Year Offer for our software that would run based around this important new update, and obviously we missed it because of this crazy issue. Notarization used to take a few seconds. Now it does not work, neither on my newly set up Mac, nor in my old (completely unchanged) one.
My company and finances are totally frozen at this point due to this issue. PLEASE help, look into my actual account and do what is needed!

Notarization submission has been stuck in "In Progress" status for over 15 hours with no resolution.
Hi there, I am trying to roll out distribution to paid users who are unable to receive anything from me for quite some time now, and I've read that notarization is quick. But I've found myself to be under quite a delay. Wondering if I could please get some help.

Please investigate why submissions are not being processed and either:
Clear the backlog and process pending submissions
Provide guidance on how to proceed with distribution
I'm currently observing a problem similar to this thread https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/737334
The difference is that this is happening after updating a system extension.
Basically same error, sysextd complains it can not check that the system extension is notarized: macOS Error 3 + Error code=-67050.
I think macOS (Sequoia 15.3.2 or 15.7.2 if it matters) is wrong in this case for the following reasons:
when using spctl assess -t install, the system extension is reported to be correctly notarized.
when restarting the Mac, the updated system extension is correctly checked and staged.
if I run spctl assess before sysextd tries to check the system extension, it works.
I'm currently thinking of 2 reasons why the check does not work:
sysextd is somehow trying to work with a cached assessment that has become invalid after the system extension was updated.
macOS needs way more time between the update of the files and the request to update the staged extension. I tried adding a 5-second delay. This does not seem to work or at least reliably.
I tried just touching the system extension, no positive result. Unfortunately, in macOS Sequoia, it is not possible anymore to reset-default using spctl and see if it solves the issue, at least the next time the update is performed.
[Q] Is there some magic operation that would help macOS correctly check the notarization of an updated system extension?
We are experiencing notarization submissions that remain in the “In Progress” state for an extended period (over 24 hours), with no status transition and no submission log available.
This is occurring in an automated CI environment using the Notary REST API (non-interactive submission and polling). Re-submitting the same package only results in additional submissions also stuck in “In Progress”.
There does not appear to be any API mechanism to cancel, clear, or expire these submissions once they are created.
We have already opened an Apple Developer Support case regarding this issue (Case ID: 102818066745 & 102819008943), but have not yet received clarification on what is causing these long-running “In Progress” states.
This issue is impacting our production release pipeline, as we are unable to reliably complete notarization for signed packages within an expected timeframe.
Based on other reports in this forum (including thread 811968), this behavior appears similar to cases where notarization requests were delayed due to backend backlog or in-depth analysis.
We would appreciate clarification on the following:
Is it expected behavior for notarization submissions to remain in “In Progress” for such a long period without logs?
Is client-side timeout and re-submission the recommended handling for CI workflows?
Are there known service-side conditions (e.g. analysis backlog) that could explain this behavior?
Any guidance from Apple DTS or others who have encountered this would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, I just pushed a release and notarized. Works great on my test laptop (macOS 26.2) and my test desktop (macOS 14.x)
But it seems to fail for a friend who's running macOS 15.
I've been using the same GitHub actions successfully for months.
How can notarization work for macOS 14 and 26, but not for macOS 15?
I think everything looks okay as far as the signing?

The very first submission (eeb12389) came back
as Invalid within minutes because Hardened
Runtime wasn't enabled on the binary. I fixed
the build configuration and confirmed
flags=0x10000(runtime) is present on all
subsequent builds. However, every submission
after that fix has been stuck at "In Progress"
with no state transition.
What I've tried
Submitting both .dmg and .zip formats — same
result
Verified notarytool log — returns
"Submission log is not yet available" for all
stuck submissions
Apple Developer System Status page shows the
Notary Service as "Available"
I've also emailed Apple Developer Support
but have not received a response yet
Questions
Is this the expected behavior for a
first-time notarization account? I've seen
other threads mentioning that new accounts may
be held for "in-depth analysis," but 16+
hours with zero feedback seems excessive.
2. Is there any manual configuration Apple
needs to do on their end to unblock my team
for notarization?
3. Should I stop submitting and wait, or is
there something else I can try?
Any guidance from DTS would be greatly
appreciated. This is blocking the release of
my app.
