From what I can tell, it seems that this is something standard that we have to deal with; however, what is annoying and frustrating is I paid good money to have this service work. My application is for important internal use at our company, and this is causing major issues and starting to make me look pretty bad, frankly. On top of that, there is no feedback at all, no reason given. Notarizing darwin binaries... Conducting pre-submission checks for aria.zip and initiating connection to the Apple notary service... Submission ID received id: ec041209-5652-4772-8689-e9e654432da8 Successfully uploaded file id: ec041209-5652-4772-8689-e9e654432da8 path: /Users/shaneholloman/git/sources/uicnz/aria/dist/darwin-arm64/aria.zip Waiting for processing to complete.

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, I’m requesting the Family Controls distribution capability for my app and its extensions. The main app bundle ID was approved within 1 day. However, I later realized the associated extensions (Shield Configuration, Device Activity Monitor, Device Activity Report) also require separate approval. I submitted those extension requests 4 days ago, and they are still in "Submitted" with no updates. This is currently blocking me from proceeding with TestFlight/App Store submission, since the extensions require the approved capability. Is this delay expected for extension bundle IDs? Thanks for your help.

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

Hello, We recently resubmitted our Family Controls (Distribution) request with a much more detailed explanation after our previous declined. Our entire app (including an extension) depends on this capability, and right now we’re completely blocked from launching. Months of work are stuck at this final step and it’s honestly becoming very stressful with no visibility on the timeline. If anyone has experience with the approval timeline after resubmitting, or if someone from Apple could help look into it, it would truly mean a lot. 4C6XLQWZQY Y5JJ7GT6BP 3ZBSC333WU Thank you

In my application I validate the authenticity of my own binaries by checking that the Team Identifier in the code signature matches a predefined value. Currently I do not perform a full signature validation that verifies the certificate chain up to Apple’s root CA. When attempting to do this using SecStaticCodeCheckValidityWithErrors (or validateWithRequirement), the operation sometimes takes several minutes. During that time the calling thread appears blocked, and the system logs show: trustd: [com.apple.securityd:SecError] Malformed anchor records, not an array Because of this delay, I decided to rely only on the Team Identifier. My question is: Can it be assumed that if a Mach-O binary contains a Team Identifier in its code signature, then it must have been signed with a valid Apple Developer certificate? Or are there cases where a binary could contain a Team ID but still not be signed by Apple’s trust chain? Thanks for the help !

I'm unable to notarize my macOS app — notarytool returns statusCode 7000 ("Team is not yet configured for notarization"). My Developer ID certificate is valid (expires 2031), code signing works fine. Timeline: March 4 — opened case 102832266798 via Developer Programs Support March 6 — Apple replied, but the email never arrived (not in spam either) March 9 — sent follow-up requesting the response be resent — no reply March 13 — opened new case 102840272497 via Program Enrollment form — waiting It's been 9 days with no resolution. DTS confirmed this is not a technical issue and referred me to Developer Programs Support. Team ID: 9NL8W3646T Bundle ID: com.traart.app How can I escalate this? Has anyone experienced a similar situation with a new account?

I have an app for iOS already on the AppStore and I'm trying to add a macOS version of it. The AppID prefix for this app is different than my Team ID. This mismatch was always fine for submitting my iOS app. However for some reason, the macOS version gets rejected when I upload it. It tells me the AppID prefix must match my Team ID. I do not control my TeamID and I do not control my AppID prefix, they are both given to me by Apple. Yet the error message tells me they must match. How do I get past this? Here is the error message: Validation failed Invalid code signing entitlements. Your application bundle's signature contains code signing entitlements that aren't supported on macOS. Specifically, the "APPID_PREFIX.MY_BUNDLE_ID" value for the com.apple.application-identifier key in "MY_PACKAGE" isn't supported. This value should be a string that starts with your Team ID, followed by a dot ('"), followed by the bundle ID. (ID: 930b77ae-099f-4798-a14a-2803f2a9be9e) Thanks in advance for any pointer.

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 (a.dmg) 7af2b25f-e131-40a4-bcd3-0f7583ebbdc2 (a.dmg) 2b35ec79-d851-41d6-a900-788d4201a273 (b.dmg) 8194b1af-a270-4de9-92f1-ce2a8d4782f2 (c.dmg) 2608dcfc-7652-4efa-97e3-1749e7130dcb (d.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.

Hello, We are experiencing repeated notarization delays for our macOS app distributed outside the Mac App Store. Current submission ID: 45d7cac0-bd8a-4d48-b886-1cad7649adf4 Previous affected submission ID: ff61de1e-15f5-4bbe-8b34-a91a6f73b978 Issue description: xcrun notarytool submit succeeds and returns a submission ID. xcrun notarytool info keeps returning In Progress for a very long time. In the current case, the submission has remained In Progress for more than 45 minutes. This issue has happened repeatedly across multiple submissions. What we have already checked: We are not using a local proxy for notarization requests. We separated submit and polling in our build script to verify the exact stage. We retried multiple times. We reduced package contents to rule out newly introduced app content. Could someone from Apple please help check whether these submission IDs are stuck in the notarization pipeline, or advise what additional diagnostics we should provide? Thank you.

Hi, I submitted a Family Controls (Distribution) entitlement request on March 9, 2026 for my iOS app, but I still have not received any approval, rejection, or other status update. At this point, I’m mainly trying to understand: whether this waiting time is currently normal, whether there is any way to check if the request is actually under review, and whether Apple provides any follow-up if more information is needed. This is blocking my progress, because the app depends on the Screen Time / Family Controls APIs. Has anyone recently experienced similar delays, and is there any recommended next step besides waiting? Thanks. Imi

Hi, I do have a strange behavior in my development environment on a Mac mini (M4) running 26.2 and Xcode 26.3. Everything was working as expected. My project had a stable state and I wanted to enable iCloud support. As result I could not run the app any more because code signing failed with the message that my profile does not include the above entitlement. On my notebook (M2) with XCode 26.3 everything is working. Im am using GIT and both computers have identical code. The code compiling and running on my notebook will not run any more on my Max mini. Any help to find what might have broken the code signing and how it could be fixed? Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I recently submitted the Family Controls request form and received the following request IDs: 429MKWT5VX
 KNL6T2DC7A
 N62KV78DKC However, I haven’t received any updates yet and I’m not sure how these requests are tracked or when we’ll know if they’re approved. Our app is almost ready to launch and this capability is critical for us. Both the main app and an extension depend on Family Controls, so we’re currently blocked from moving forward. I also raised a support ticket with Apple Developer Support (Case ID: 102838723073), but I haven’t received any response there either. To be honest, this is becoming really stressful. Months of work are stuck at the final step and we’re unable to move forward without this approval. This isn’t just a small personal project and we’re building a production app and were hoping to launch very soon. If anyone has been through this process or has any guidance on the approval timeline, or if someone from Apple could help look into these request IDs, it would genuinely mean a lot to us.

 Thank you

I've already submitted multiple cases about this issue. My Family Controls Distribution request was apparently approved (or I was told via Developer Support) for my Device Activity extension, but the Distribution option still does not appear in the identifier. This is blocking my ability to distribute via TestFlight. I need someone who can update the identifier capabilities or explain why the approved capability is not showing.

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 ?
