Hi everyone,
I’m trying to notarize a macOS app for direct distribution (Developer ID, not Mac App Store). The upload went through without any errors, but the submission has been stuck in “In Progress” for over two days and never flips to Accepted or Invalid.
here's my enviroment
- xcode (16.2)
- macOS (Sonoma 15.5)
- Notarytool 1.0.0 (bundled with Xcode)
- Created (31 May 2025 12:42 UTC)
- Status “In Progress” for 36 + hours
What I’ve Tried — No Luck So Far
- Checked Apple System Status – All services show green.
- xcrun notarytool history --keychain-profile AC_NOTARY --output-format json – The UUID above always returns "status": "in_progress". No additional fields are updated (e.g. no statusCode, issues, or logUrl).
- Re-exported + re-uploaded the archive via Xcode Organizer → same result, new UUID also stalls.
- Re-installed command-line tools and rebooted. 5. No entitlements that usually trigger long scans (e.g. DriverKit, Hardened Runtime is on).
Questions
- Is anyone else seeing unusually long turnaround times for Developer ID notarization this week?
- Is there a way to “nudge” a stuck submission, or must I wait for an automatic timeout?
- Would revoking the current submission and re-uploading actually help, or does it land back in the same queue?
- Any Apple contacts I can ping when the history endpoint never progresses?
