Hey all, I’m experiencing a consistent issue with notarizing a signed .pkg file that contains a macOS screen saver (.saver) bundle. Nothing online so far except 1 thread on the form from the altool time pre-2023 so i thought it worth another update.
Here is what I did:
- I signed the .saver bundle using my Developer ID Application certificate.
- I packaged it into a .pkg using pkgbuild with my Developer ID Installer certificate:
- I submitted the resulting .pkg via xcrun notarytool:
xcrun notarytool submit saver-name.pkg --apple-id email@email.com --password [app-specific-password] --team-id xxxxxxxxx
-
The submission appears to be accepted and uploads successfully.
-
However, the notarization status remains stuck at “In Progress” for hours (over 12h), with no update.
I also tried:
- Repackaging the .pkg with a new name
- using a zip
- Resubmitting it under a new submission ID
All attempts are stuck in the same “In Progress” state indefinitely.
Did anyone solve this yet?
