Notarization takes more than a day
Hello everyone, I'm encountering significant delays with the notarization process for our Electron application using a newly created developer account. The process is taking an unusually long time (1-2 days), which is disrupting our workflow. Details: We've attempted notarization multiple times over the past 2 weeks. The process consistently takes 8+ hours before I typically abort it. (due going offline etc) Interestingly, when I check the notary history later, it shows the notarization was actually successful. Our application package is relatively large, which might be contributing to the delay (archive: 226 mb, app:800mb) Recent Examples: Current submission (still in progress): 52db12c3-4a54-4e14-9d77-e141d7f28227 Previous successful submission: 49273be6-3e13-4f3f-83a4-945114d899b9 Has anyone else experienced similar issues with notarizing applications? Are there any optimizations or best practices I should implement to reduce these processing times? I'm using the default notarization feature that comes with electron forge. Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated!

App Groups on macOS, 'Register App Groups' Code Signing Problems
So I just updated Xcode to 16.3 and updated a project to its recommended build settings which includes "Register App Groups". So I have an outside Mac App Store app that uses app groups. Here we have an action extension. I can't debug it, can't get it to run. Nothing useful in Xcode is displayed when I try... but it looks like a code signing issue when I run and have Console open. So I try to make a provisioning profile manually and set it...didn't work. I noticed now though in signing & capabilities the group id is in red...like it's invalid, or something? This was a "macOS styled" group without the "group." prefix. So am I supposed to switch it to have the group. prefix? It makes the red text go away (no warnings or anything about app groups here, just red text). So if I change it to group. prefix..does that make an entire new container?What happens on app update for installs that don't have group. prefix? Does the system transparently migrate the group? Or Am I supposed to migrate the entire group container to the identifier with group. prefix? Also how does this affect running on older version of macOS? If I go with the "group." prefix to make the red text go away,.. what happens on macOS 11.0? Got a little more than I bargained for here after midnight.

Certificate Revocation Impact
Background We are using a Developer ID application certificate to sign our application. We lost the private key and we need to revoke it before we can receive a new one. Per documentation (https://developer.apple.com/support/certificates/), I know that previously installed applications will still be able to run, but new installations will not be able to work. I want to confirm what will happen when we revoke the certificate so we know how to prepare customers for this upcoming change. Questions Will existing installations of the application receive a notice that the certificate has been revoked? Will previously installed applications be able to launch again after they are closed? What will the user see when they try to install the application with the revoked certificate?

Notarization hangs forever
I've been trying to have an app I've built notarized by Apple. The processing hangs there for hours just waiting. I even tried with a tiny 1KB test file, it has been stuck for 25+ minutes, and I have 7 real submissions stuck for 24+ hours. Any Apple representative can help please? I need to publish and release my app asap.

App Sandbox & Missing Symbols for Nested PyInstaller App Bundle
Hi Developers, I'm encountering persistent validation errors in Xcode 16.3 (16E140) on macOS 15.4.1 (24E263) with M1 when archiving and distributing a macOS app (Developer ID signing + notarization). App Structure: A native Swift/Obj-C wrapper app that launches a nested .app inside its Resources. The nested app is built with PyInstaller and includes: A Python core Custom C++ binaries Many bundled .so libraries (e.g., from OpenCV, PyQt/PySide) Issues During Validation: App Sandbox Not Enabled Error: App Sandbox missing for NestedApp.app/Contents/MacOS/NestedExecutable. Question: For Developer ID (not App Store), is sandboxing strictly required for nested PyInstaller apps? If the wrapper is sandboxed, must the nested app be as well? Given the PyInstaller app's nature (requiring broad system access), how should entitlements be managed? Upload Symbols Failed Errors for missing .dSYM files for: The nested app’s executable Custom C++ binaries .so files (OpenCV, PyQt, etc.) These are either third-party or built without DWARF data, making .dSYM generation impractical post-build. Question: Are these symbol errors critical for Developer ID notarization (not App Store)? Can notarization succeed despite them? Is lack of symbol upload a known limitation with PyInstaller apps? Any best practices?

security policy does not allow @ path expansion
I’ve been working on a Catalyst version of my iOS apps. Finally everything is working apart from the custom intents the user user to configure the widgets. The config UI loads: And changing settings at this level works. But it can’t load the options for the other settings: “No options were provided for this parameter” I see this crash in the intent: Termination Reason: Namespace DYLD, Code 1 Library missing Library not loaded: @rpath/CocoaLumberjack.framework/Versions/A/CocoaLumberjack Referenced from: <E1BF4CC5-4181-3272-828C-86B1CD1A66BF> /Applications/my.app/Contents/PlugIns/Intents.appex/Contents/MacOS/Intents Reason: , (security policy does not allow @ path expansion) (terminated at launch; ignore backtrace) I have added the Hardened Runtime Capability to the Main App Target, the Widget Target and the Intents Target. I also allowed “Disable Library Validation” just in case. What am I missing?

Failed to notarize a "distribution" pkg
I'm building a custom macOS installer for my software, primarily using the builtin tools of codesign, pkgbuild, productbuild and xcrun. My product consist of a list of plugins and a CEP extension for the Adobe After Effect app. All of my bundles and binaries are properly signed using a trusted Apple Developer certificate I've generated, of type Developer ID Application. My installer is a "distribution" pkg, and has this structure(expanding it using pkgutil --expand): SceneTools-3.4.4-osx-installer ├── Distribution ├── miscellaneous.pkg ├── plugins.aftereffects2022.pkg ├── plugins.aftereffects2023.pkg ├── plugins.aftereffects2024.pkg ├── plugins.aftereffects2025.pkg ├── preinstall.pkg ├── Resources ├── scenebuilder.pkg └── uninstaller.pkg Each "child" pkg would install parts of my product in different locations in the target macOS disk(this is why I'm using that kind of style of building the custom installer). Signing each and every bundle or binary of my product, signing the "child" pkg's, then notarizing them works well with no issues, in addition signing the "final" "distribution" using productbuild --sign option also works well, but when trying to notarize the "final" pkg, the notary service fails with this error: { "logFormatVersion": 1, "jobId": "5fb38df9-ef97-4bd3-955e-7783c37ac4a8", "status": "Invalid", "statusSummary": "Archive contains critical validation errors", "statusCode": 4000, "archiveFilename": "SceneTools-3.4.4-osx-installer.pkg", "uploadDate": "2025-06-26T14:14:41.507Z", "sha256": "621de5d887b06ad11214255c6e91ebd9eeffb18ad8f940365f4539bd1902fe9a", "ticketContents": null, "issues": [ { "severity": "error", "code": null, "path": "SceneTools-3.4.4-osx-installer.pkg", "message": "Package SceneTools-3.4.4-osx-installer.pkg has no signed executables or bundles. No tickets can be generated.", "docUrl": null, "architecture": null }, { "severity": "warning", "code": null, "path": "SceneTools-3.4.4-osx-installer.pkg", "message": "The contents of the package at SceneTools-3.4.4-osx-installer.pkg could not be extracted.", "docUrl": null, "architecture": null } ] } My final pkg indeed doesn't contain any bundles or binaries directly, but that's how it should be - a container of "child" pkg. I tried various ways of working-around this issue, like: Notarizing the dmg that contains this final pkg - worked, but when opening the pkg, GateKeeper blocks the users from opening it. Wrapping the pkg inside an .app and notarizing the .app - same as above. What am I doing wrong? Does those kind of pkg like my "final" pkg aren't meant to be notarized? if so - how can I solve this GateKeeper blocks? Should I build my final pkg in a different way?

Encounter "zsh: trace trap" after updating trust settings for Apple certificates
Hi guys, New to publishing apps on Apple Store. I encounter some notarization error before and resolved it in this post. By solving the previous issue, I updated the Trust setting from "Always Trust" to "Use System Defaults" for Apple certificates. The codesign and notarization no longer give me any problem. But now, I encountered another issue. When I ran the .app on my local Macbook, it now gives me "zsh: trace trap" error. Dive a little further and check the crash report, I found the some details as following. Process: my_app [30652] Path: /Users/USER/my_app_path Identifier: my_app Version: 0.0.0 (???)

jpackage bombing on codesign/libnet.dylib (but only on M2 MacBook)
This is a Math+CS Educational app written in Java. I have been able to distribute the Intel-Mac version downloaded as a .dmg (code-signed, notarized and stapled). I also need to support Apple silicon hw. I re-created the entire sw manufacturing structure on my M2 Macbook. I'm using the exact same command scripts that work on the older hardware. I am expecting the jpackage script to run the same way on the M2....but no. The first sign of trouble is I'm not getting an authentication password dialog , which I believe is thrown up by the MacOS when codesign asks to access my Keychain certificates. My keychain is setup the default way. Here is the error msg: [07:38:08.719] Running /usr/bin/codesign [07:38:08.749] java.io.IOException: Command [/usr/bin/codesign, -s, Developer ID Application: Pierre Bierre (SL7L4YU8GT), -vvvv, --timestamp, --options, runtime, --prefix, ST_DFG2D_ARM, /var/folders/v7/06pp2_5d6gz9593k96n2z0v40000gn/T/jdk.jpackage11705714069544945060/images/image-2753484488940359178/DataflowGeom2D.app/Contents/runtime/Contents/Home/lib/libnet.dylib] exited with 1 code at jdk.jpackage/jdk.jpackage.internal.Executor.executeExpectSuccess(Executor.java:90) at jdk.jpackage/jdk.jpackage.internal.IOUtils.exec(IOUtils.java:215) If I build the .dmg installer WITHOUT code-signing it, it produces a good .dmg, but I can't distribute it to my students with M2-M3-M4 rigs. The error feedback from "codesign" is nonspecific and inactionable. As a developer, I need specific, actionable error messages. I expect that from the wealthiest computer company in the world. Need the info.

self-signed jre works in one macos account, but not another
Hi, I have a macOS Intel machine running Ventura 13.7.4. This machine is used as a build node for Jenkins to run a test for a USB device that has an HID interface. The test runner for this is Java's junit on Azul's Zulu JDK 8 for mac. I've added the com.apple.security.device entitlement to this JDK 8 bundle and signed using a self-signed certificate. This certificate is available in the system keychain at: keychain: "/Library/Keychains/System.keychain" version: 256 class: 0x80001000 On my personal account on this machine, I can run the test and it calls IOHIDDevicePlugin's open function and returns success: [junit] [debug] [hid.cpp:1457] HIDAccess::Open Success in open for cDeviceHandle: 0x6000006abb38 If I run the same test logged in as the Jenkins agent account, then open returns: [junit] [debug] [hid.cpp:1484] Could not open HID with handle: 0x600002a5c018, error (-1ffffd3f): (iokit/common) privilege violation I can see the certificate that signed the JDK bundle running the command: security find-certificate -c "java-rt-usb" -a -m The results are the same for both accounts. Is my setup expected to work? I.e. create a self-signed cert in one account with admin privileges, put the cert in the system keychain, sign an app bundle with a new usb entitlement using this cert, and then run that app in another account on the same machine. If it's expected to work, are there any more troubleshooting tools I can use? ioreg shows the same output for these devices under test in both accounts: $ ioreg -p IOUSB -w0 +-o CMSIS-DAP@14620000 <class AppleUSBDevice, id 0x1000026ae, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (1 ms), retain 17> +-o CMSIS-DAP@14630000 <class AppleUSBDevice, id 0x1000026d6, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (1 ms), retain 17>

notarization suddenly stuck for hours
I've been successfully notarizing my apps for a year or so now, with intermittent releases every so often, usually succeeding with notarization in a couple of minutes. These apps are all written in Python, but I worked through all the jank required to get them to notarize cleanly a while ago and have no issues since. Today I submitted a couple of builds which have been stuck for hours. They're just "in progress", so no logs I can look at, no emails or anything on my developer account page. How can I begin to debug this? Successfully received submission info createdDate: 2025-06-24T18:43:37.140Z id: 8d1a1ca9-f0ad-426f-a714-89aaf9e01a07 name: pinpal-2025.6.25.for-notarizing.app.zip status: In Progress I should note that in addition to the comment added within 10 minutes of creation of this issue, within the last day, we also have: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/789389 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/789599 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/789995 So it seems pretty likely something is going on on the backend.

Notarize stuck "In Progress"
Hello, I've developed an application using Electron with JAVACRIPT. I have managed to deploy to both Windows and the web but having trouble deploying the application to my Mac users. It's my first time deploying an application for Mac but feel like I'm stuck at the last hurdle and out of ideas so I'm reaching out for help. My application is successfully signing but during the build and when my Notarize.js is running it seems to get stuck indefinitely. I can check and see the status of the Notarize attempts but they seem to be stuck "In Progress". Here are the logs.

App works fine in development but crashes in hardened runtime
I am building an application using .NET and Avalonia UI. The application is cross-platform. One of the tasks of the application is to coordinate data collection that is then routed into a Docker container for analysis. Everything works as expected in Windows. Everything works as expected in macOS on the development workstation and before packaging. After I package/codesign into a hardened runtime, I start seeing crashes at the moment when I try to execute the system calls to Docker. I am reasonably confident that this has something to do with an entitlement flag or some other permissions issue. I have been trying to sort this on my own for a while. I am only hoping someone can nudge me in the right direction. Thanks, Kevin

Notarization Incomplete for Github Workflows
Hello, I am new to the apple developer program. I, and my team, are working on porting some medical software that we have written from Windows to MacOS. We obviously want to notarize our app to make it easy for professionals and colleagues to use. The software is entirely written in python and includes ffmpeg for one of the features to export the medical data to video and compiled to a single file with pyinstaller, like so: pyinstaller app_name.py --noconfirm --onefile --add-data "ffmpeg:ffmpeg" chmod +x dist/app_name* We are currently adding the signing and notarization of the app to our github workflow. The workflow build a successful app with the correct structure and is able to be run if we allow it past the MacOS firewall. We are signing the app like so: run: | BINARY_PATH="dist/app_name" IDENTITY=$(security find-identity -p codesigning -v | grep -E 'Developer ID Application|Mac Developer' | head -n1 | awk -F\" '{print $2}') echo "Using identity: $IDENTITY" security unlock-keychain -p "" build.keychain codesign --verbose=4 --force --options runtime --timestamp --entitlements .github/mac_build_tools/entitlements.plist --sign "$IDENTITY" "$BINARY_PATH" codesign --verify --verbose=4 "$BINARY_PATH" We then also move the binary around into an app structure and sign that as well like so echo "Moving contents to SedPlot.app" mkdir -p dist/app_name.app/Contents/MacOS mv "$BINARY_PATH" dist/app_name.app/Contents/MacOS cp .github/mac_build_tools/Info.plist dist/app_name.app/Contents echo -n "APPL????" > dist/app_name.app/Contents/PkgInfo echo "Signing App" codesign --verbose=4 --force --options runtime --timestamp --entitlements .github/mac_build_tools/entitlements.plist --sign "$IDENTITY" dist/app_name.app codesign --verify --verbose=4 dist/app_name.app codesign --display --entitlements :- dist/app_name.app If I upload the artifact and check its properties, everything looks good. It has the correct ID associated with it and shows as valid when I use codesign --verify on it. I start having issues when I move onto notarization, like so: cd dist echo "Zipping and checking the zip" ditto -c -k --keepParent app_name.app app_name.zip zipinfo -1 app_name.zip | head echo "$AC_API_KEY" > AuthKey.p8 SUBMISSION_ID=$(xcrun notarytool submit app_name.zip \ --key AuthKey.p8 \ --key-id "$AC_KEY_ID" \ --issuer "$AC_ISSUER_ID" \ --team-id "TEAM_ID" \ --output-format json | jq -r '.id') echo "Submitted notarization with ID: $SUBMISSION_ID" All of the print statements for errors look good at this point, and the submission ID shows up in my history when I query it. However, all 7 attempts that I have made to notarize this app hang for indefinite amounts of time. We are hoping to submit our tool for publication soon, and it would be helpful to know if there is an issue causing the hang on our end or if this is an issue with new developers. I have been reading around the forums and see some notes about this taking about a week until the system start to "learn" about our development team and our attempts to notarize. I also know that there is limited amounts that can be said about the backend of the notarizations step. What would be helpful is a few things: I would like feedback about if there is a fundamental flaw in our approach for signing and notarizing our application, so that we can identify it. I would appreciate some guidelines about how long to expect this notarization step to take until we can get notarization to finish within 10s of minutes, as we have a hard-coded 30 min wait time for the completion of the notarization in our workflow right now. It would be helpful to know how to check our logs, as requesting the logs for any of our attempts results in being told that the logs are not available yet. In case someone from apple is interested in this and wants to check, the most-recent submission ID (the one that I believe should be most-likely correct and valid) is 9ef24966-42a5-47db-a7e0-c6baf0310ac4 Thank you in advance!

Notarization via notarytool stuck “In Progress”
Hello everyone, I’m trying to notarize my macOS app (DockIt.zip) using the new notarytool CLI, but every submission remains in In Progress status forever, it never moves to Accepted or Rejected. I’ve tried multiple rebuilds, credential resets, and even the Xcode GUI method, but the result is the same. Environment • macOS 14.x • Xcode 15.x / Command-Line Tools 15.x • Apple ID: afonsocruz.dev@icloud.com (Team ID: 264Z9XKCT6) • Keychain profile: DockItCreds Steps taken 1. zip -r DockIt.zip DockIt.app 2. xcrun notarytool store-credentials DockItCreds --apple-id ... --team-id 264Z9XKCT6 3. xcrun notarytool submit DockIt.zip --keychain-profile DockItCreds --wait 4. xcrun notarytool history --keychain-profile DockItCreds History snapshot 167a9600-5c7c-4bc4-b984-dd967d30e161 (2025-05-19T11:37:59Z) – In Progress 7167f7c8-d448-4b35-9817-055009f2730a (2025-05-19T04:59:34Z) – In Progress 6ef0610a-595f-4c57-b0f2-f5fe783e8679 (2025-05-18T22:04:10Z) – In Progress bddde388-a34a-42c4-afb8-f06f2b0fe8fa (2025-05-17T10:24:07Z) – In Progress Questions Is it normal to stay “In Progress” for so long? Any recent service changes or outages? How can I get more detailed logs? Also, I'm still learning about macOS development and these steps! If there's something obvious and I was not able to see, please, take into consideration! Thanks!
