Notarization: "Team isn't configured for notarization"
I've tried to notarize my app recently and got the error:{ "logFormatVersion": 1, "jobId": "...", "status": "Rejected", "statusSummary": "Team is not yet configured for notarization", "statusCode": 7000, "archiveFilename": "myapp.dmg", "uploadDate": "2019-06-20T06:24:53Z", "sha256": "...", "ticketContents": null, "issues": null }I've never heard about "team configuration for notarization" previously. What are the steps to resolve that issue?Thanks in advance.

Xcode 12.5 altool notarization failing intermittently
Since upgrading to Xcode 12.5, attempting to submit an app for notarization with /usr/bin/xcrun altool --notarize-app has started failing ~10% of the time with the error Upload succeeded but did not receive a RequestUUID..

notary tool fails on same file that altool notarizes successfully
Just got my brand new M1 Max laptop and am excited to get with the times and use notary tool instead of altool as recommended by the mothership but when I try to notarize the same file that altool notarizes successfully it fails. Here is is my sucessful altool command: xcrun altool --notarize-app --primary-bundle-id "My Kool Tool" --username "***@***.com" -p "@keychain:ac_notary" --asc-provider XXXXXXXXXXXX --file *.zip && rm *.zip and this is the notary tool command that fails on the same file: xcrun notarytool submit *.zip --keychain-profile "XXXXXX Apple Developer" --wait && rm *.zip Here is the output: Conducting pre-submission checks for archive.zip and initiating connection to the Apple notary service... Submission ID received  id: e20c0438-5576-4361-a11a-2efeb8exxxxx Successfully uploaded file  id: e20c0438-5576-4361-a11a-2efeb8exxxxx  path: /Users/***/Documents/archive.zip Waiting for processing to complete. Current status: Invalid.......... Processing complete  id: e20c0438-5576-4361-a11a-2efeb8exxxxx  status: Invalid and the log: xcrun notarytool log e20c0438-5576-4361-a11a-2efeb8exxxxx --keychain-profile "XXXXXX Apple Developer" {  "logFormatVersion": 1,  "jobId": "e20c0438-5576-4361-a11a-2efeb8exxxxx",  "status": "Invalid",  "statusSummary": "Archive contains critical validation errors",  "statusCode": 4000,  "archiveFilename": "archive.zip",  "uploadDate": "2021-12-07T18:57:23.193Z",  "sha256": "505d76b420d46bfd01d56c724de1c8d20121d75b0ca6cee96a51549708ec46ee",  "ticketContents": null,  "issues": [   {    "severity": "error",    "code": null,    "path": "archive.zip",    "message": "Package archive.zip has no signed executables or bundles. No tickets can be generated.",    "docUrl": null,    "architecture": null   }  ] } again, the same file notarizes with altool so it is properly signed It is worth noting that if I don't include the --asc-provider in the altool command it fails so maybe I just need to do the same with the notary tool but can't find any documentation on how to do that.

Notarization seems to succeed but installer has issues
It seems like something changed in the notarization in the last few days. I'm running the same build script that creates and notarize a DMG that contains a PKG with 4 plugins. Everything is signed correctly. No error anywhere in the notarization process. Checking the status of the notarization, I get this: Status: success Status Code: 0 Status Message: Package Approved Stapling returns this: The staple and validate action worked! Yet, if I check the PKG inside with this command: spctl -a -vvv -t install I get this output: .pkg: rejected source=Unnotarized Developer ID origin=Developer ID Installer: My Company This project was perfectly working a few weeks ago, and we have not changed a thing. Checking the notarization log, the only issue I see is this: "issues": [ { "severity": "warning", "code": null, "path": "Archive.dmg/Installer.pkg", "message": "This archive is corrupt, and cannot be unpacked for analysis.", "docUrl": null, "architecture": null } ] But this warning is also present in past DMG/PKG thatare notarized and work as they should. Another difference from previous logs is that I can only see one item in ticketContents, which is the DMG, while previously I could see two, both the DMG and the PKG.

Notarisation Resources
IMPORTANT altool is deprecated for the purposes of notarisation and will stop working on 1 Nov 2023 [1]. If you’re currently notarising with altool, switch to notarytool now. For specific advice on how to do this, see TN3147 Migrating to the latest notarization tool.

notarytool: No Keychain password item found for profile
Hi! Trying to use notarytool for an app notarization via script on CD pipeline. Build machine has an Xcode 12.5 installed and currently it can't be upgraded. So, our team decided to use utility as standalone binary, placed in the /Applications directory. The command used for notarization: '/Applications/notarytool submit '<path>' --keychain-profile '<profile-name>' --output-format 'json' --wait'. Before running the command above, we saved keychain profile with notarytool store-credentials command. However, future runs of notarization script fail with a message: 'Error: No Keychain password item found for profile: '. But we definitely see it among Keychain entries and 'security find-generic-password -l ' command approves that profile has been saved. Did anyone encounter a similar issue? Can someone suggest what how to cope with this behavior? Thank you in advance for any ideas

Migration to notarytool from altool
Hi, I have a problem with replacing altool to notarytool to notarize my app for distribution outside AppStore. Earlier I used this code (-p passes App's password): xcrun altool --notarize-app --primary-bundle-id "MyProductBundleID" -u "myname@gmail.com" -p "wxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx" --file MyProduct.zip I wrote a new script: xcrun notarytool submit MyProduct.zip --keychain-profile "wxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx" --wait Error with unknown "--keychain-profile".

Notarytool doesn't recognise my zip as a zip
I am making the switch from altool to notarytool and I've run into a brick wall trying to submit our app zip. It is created using ditto -c -k --keepParent "path-to-app" "path-to-zip" On submission I get: Error: <app-name>.zip must be a zip archive (.zip), flat installer package (.pkg), or UDIF disk image (.dmg) Absolutely baffled by this.

notarytool not recognizing a zip created with ditto
We're in the process of updating an app that we released approximately a year ago -- which had no issues with codesigning and notarization in our last release. The current version fails at the initial submission process; stating that the file "must be a zip archive (.zip), flat installer package (.pkg), or UDIF disk image (.dmg)" The process itself we're taking is rather straightforward, and follows much of what I've seen repeated on the forums here. A few additional details: The app itself (a Unity project with a lot of content that needs to be shipped with the app) is quite large, weighing in at around 20GB. Despite this large size, we were able to go through this process in the past with no issues. I was originally running Xcode 13 on Big Sur, but upgraded to Xcode 14 on Ventura to no avail. Our notarization script runs the following: ditto -c -k --keepParent OurAppName.app NotarizationFileName.zip xcrun notarytool submit NotarizationFileName.zip --keychain-profile OUR_CREDENTIAL_PROFILE --wait When we add --verbose to the xcrun command; this is our output: $ Build > xcrun notarytool submit NotarizationFileName.zip --keychain-profile OUR_CREDENTIAL_PROFILE --wait --verbose [23:01:54.643Z] Debug [MAIN] Running notarytool version: 1.0.0 (27), date: 2023-03-25T23:01:54Z, command: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/notarytool submit NotarizationFileName.zip --keychain-profile OUR_CREDENTIAL_PROFILE --wait --verbose Conducting pre-submission checks for NotarizationFileName.zip and initiating connection to the Apple notary service...

Codesigning completes, Notarization fails using notary tool
Notarization step fails: New AppID and password created: xcrun notarytool submit “.dmg” --apple-id “” --team-id “” --password “” --verbose --wait Error: HTTP status code: 401. Your Apple ID has been locked. Visit iForgot to reset your account (https://iforgot.apple.com), then generate a new app-specific password. Ensure that all authentication arguments are correct.

notarytool can't get password from keychain like altool does
This is the command I use, but must migrate, to notarize a macOS app: xcrun altool --notarize-app -f "$outputDmg" --primary-bundle-id "$notarizeBundleId" -u "$notarizeUser" -p "@keychain:AC_PASSWORD" The migration docs I read implied that the following should work: xcrun notarytool submit --apple-id "$notarizeUser" "--team-id" $notarizeTeam --password "@keychain:AC_PASSWORD" "$outputDmg" But it doesn't. I can get it to work only if I put the password from the keychain on the command line. I cannot accept this. What can I do to make this work?

unable to sign an notarize with quill
i'm using quill 0.2.0 to sign and notarize an arm64 binary and I've been getting HTTP 400 error from the notarization server. Signing and notarization has worked without hiccups throughout this year, but last night after getting the error it ended up working without any changes to the certs or call to quill. This morning started getting the error again and only 1 of the 2 binaries were able to be signed with retries. Still getting this error on 1: <HTML><HEAD>\n<TITLE>Bad Request</TITLE>\n</HEAD><BODY>\n<H1>Bad Request</H1>\nYour browser sent a request that this server could not understand.<P>\nReference&#32;&#35;7&#46;4c822c17&#46;1692969095&#46;ec8f4c4b\n</BODY>\n</HTML>\n Is there a change being rolled out for the apple notarization service that requires a change on the client end? Or should this really be an http 500 error?

Notarization rejected: Invalid signature
Hi people, I hope you could help me as I am stuck in a dead end. I am a developper for company and we are changing from altool to notarytool. Prior to that the code of the app has not been signed. So now what I do is: codesign --deep --force --verbose --timestamp --options runtime --sign "Developer ID Application: Phrase a.s. (${PHRASE_ID})" ${codesigne_app} The result of this operation is verified with codesign --deep --strict --vvv ${codesigne_app} which ends in a lot of --prepared and --validated lines with TranslationEditor.app: valid on disk TranslationEditor.app: satisfies its Designated Requirement Yet when I try to upload for notarization res=$(xcrun notarytool submit te-build/dist/app/TranslationEditor.app.zip --apple-id stepan.svoboda@memsource.com --password $APP_PASSWORD --team-id ${PHRASE_ID} --wait 2>&1) I get {   "logFormatVersion": 1,   "jobId": "2b959997-4ac5-4bc5-a220-8f46d6b91a9b",   "status": "Invalid",   "statusSummary": "Archive contains critical validation errors",   "statusCode": 4000,   "archiveFilename": "TranslationEditor.app.zip",   "uploadDate": "2023-08-29T05:53:39.152Z",   "sha256": "938633e08d17f1d658ada3987017a8e9bf5afee96e5f976b31809df5daf5677c",   "ticketContents": null,   "issues": [     {       "severity": "error",       "code": null,       "path": "TranslationEditor.app.zip/TranslationEditor.app/Contents/MacOS/TranslationEditor",       "message": "The signature of the binary is invalid.",       "docUrl": "https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/notarizing_macos_software_before_distribution/resolving_common_notarization_issues#3087735",       "architecture": "x86_64"     }   ] } I visited the link, tried to google, ChatGPT about it. Tried to verify the codesign ... Do you know how I can learn why it is signature of the binary is invalid? Maybe to get some more detailed log? Something the hints on what was deemed invalid? How I can debug that? How I can learn what is wrong? I am short on ideas.

Notarize Electron app Team is not configured for notarization issue
{ "logFormatVersion": 1, "status": "Rejected", "statusSummary": "Team is not yet configured for notarization. Please contact Developer Programs Support at developer.apple.com under the topic Development and Technical / Other Development or Technical Questions.", "statusCode": 7000, "ticketContents": null, "issues": null } I've tried notarizing my electron app but I get this error all the time. I've contacted Apple Developer Technical Team but I've been redirected to Developer Programs Support. I've asked them to approve the Team for notarization and they've redirected me back to Technical Team and said that the Team is not approved for notarization, which I know already from the logs error. I've watched every topic related to this Team is not yet configured for notarization issue, like : https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/118465 But it didn't helped much, because I suppose it's something that the Developer Programs Support needs to approve. My Team seems configured in App Connect, everything seems to be in place, I've accepted all the agreements, don't know what else to accept or do for Team to be approved, I didn't receive next steps from the Apple Developer Program Support Team. It's been 2 months since I'm trying to notarize and the deadline is coming, so please if anybody can help out to fix this. Thank you

Error when attempt to Notarize a compiled python code
Hello, I have a valid developer ID downloaded from Apple. I signed the code (compiled exe file for intel Macs) and put it into a ZIP, which I also signed. While signing I use timestamp and hardener option: codesign -s "$LbaDevID" -o runtime -f --timestamp $conFile3 codesign -s "$LbaDevID" -o runtime -f --timestamp $conZip3 where variable $LbaDevID represent my Dev code id (VALID, downloaded from Apple after request cert; and $conFile3 the path to the exe file and $conZip3 the path to the ZIP (just $conFile3 zipped) I attempt to notarize using the following command: xcrun notarytool submit $compZip3 --keychain-profile "TestAppNotarz" --wait the reply Log downloaded says: Invalid dev ID (which is valid) no timestamp... I corrected this error after the 1st attempt but the reply says exactly the same, even when I can see "TIMESTAMP" in the signature. The third and last error refers to the runtime, which is present but not being seen. Any help on how to troubleshoot this issue will be highly appreciated! Please point me to the relevant documentation to solve this issue...

App Notarization 'In Progress' for... ever.
I am trying to notarise a .dmg of my desktop application, but the process seems to just hang on 'In Progress'. It's not actually hanging, as I accumulate extra '.', but clearly it isn't working. This exact same codebase notarised fine recently. The only change has been a downgrade in OS from Monterey to Big Sur. I appreciate this is unusual, but I am required to support my client, who is running a 2013 MacBook Pro with Big Sur. I appreciate that some of these tools are newer than Big Sur, but surely it should work?

Notarize: The staple and validate action failed! Error 73
I'm trying to staple a validation ticket to an exe file that is already notarized. The process ended with the following error: Downloaded ticket has been stored at file:///var/folders/bj/ry08v0694972s03cswkq5md80000gq/T/7f1a34f0-8628-4157-92b0-b59cebe70951.ticket. Could not remove existing ticket from file:///Users/efi-admin/Downloads/ActualSignedFile/Contents/CodeResources because an error occurred. Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=512 "“CodeResources” couldn’t be removed." UserInfo={NSUserStringVariant=( Remove ), NSFilePath=/Users/efi-admin/Downloads/ActualSignedFile/Contents/CodeResources, NSUnderlyingError=0x600000151e90 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=20 "Not a directory"}} The staple and validate action failed! Error 73. The above was captured using the verbose option of the cmd... Among the response, I can see the ticket: fields = { signedTicket = { type = BYTES; value = "czhjaAEAAADxBQAALQAAADCCBe0wggL/MIICpKADAgECAghWLFU2G59vVTAKBggqhkjOPQQDAjByMSYwJAYDVQQDDB1BcHBsZSBTeXN0ZW0gSW50ZWdyYXRpb24gQ0EgNDEmMCQGA1UE.... (partial) I need help to properly understand what is this cmd doing as the issue might be permissions one. The path mentioned above under /ActualSignedFile: /ActualSignedFile/Contents/CodeResources Does not exist. Is that the cmd wants to create it? Is there any way to manually attach the ticket to the file, given the fact that is printed in verbose mode? Thanks! Any help will he highly appreciated!
