Notary service: submissions stuck "In Progress" for days, never completing
I'm hitting what looks like a service-side notarization problem and could use a pointer on how to get it escalated. Over the past 3 days I've submitted 9 times with notarytool. Only 2 came back Accepted. The other 7 are stuck at "In Progress" and never reach a terminal state, no Accepted, no Invalid, no log (notarytool log says it isn't available yet), and no email. The oldest has been sitting ~71 hours. Signing checks out: codesign --verify --deep --strict passes and satisfies the Designated Requirement, hardened runtime with a secure timestamp, no get-task-allow, signed with my Developer ID, and the DMGs are signed before submission. The 2 submissions that completed were Accepted, so credentials and signing are fine. It really looks like the service just isn't processing most of my submissions. This is a newly enrolled account, and I've filed FB22939442 and have an open Developer Support case. Is this a known issue for new accounts, and is there a way to get these submissions looked at? Environment: macOS 26.2, Xcode 26.5, notarytool 1.1.2 (41).

Urgent escalation required: paid Developer Program account unusable for notarization for more than two weeks
Hello Apple Developer Support, I am requesting maximum escalation for this case. My paid Apple Developer Program account has been unusable for Developer ID notarization for more than two weeks. This blocks macOS distribution entirely, despite the fact that the membership is active and all visible account requirements appear to be completed. Team ID: GRP4HM9M63 Apple Developer Program: Active Account status already checked: Apple Developer Program membership is active Apple Developer Program License Agreement is accepted Apple Developer Agreement is accepted Free Apps Agreement is active W-8BEN tax form is active Developer ID Application certificate exists and is active The applications are signed with Developer ID Application Hardened Runtime is enabled Local codesign verification passes Despite this, notarization is still unavailable for this Team. This is not an issue with a specific app, archive, DMG, ZIP, signing configuration, or binary validation. Multiple different apps and archives are rejected with the same account-level error before binary validation. Recent failed submissions: Cassini.zip Submission ID: a429460d-cdf9-47cc-9731-90bac71286af Status: Rejected Status code: 7000 Status summary: “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.” Issues: null Lunoura.zip Submission ID: 3aa46853-b3c7-4076-a08d-f9e4db9bea64 Status: Rejected Status code: 7000 Status summary: “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.” Issues: null Earlier submissions for Cassini.dmg and Cassini.zip were also rejected with the same statusCode 7000. Since multiple unrelated archives are affected and all logs contain issues: null, this clearly appears to be a Developer Team/account configuration issue on Apple’s side, not an application validation issue. Please escalate this case to the appropriate Developer Program / notarization backend team and urgently check the notarization configuration for Team ID GRP4HM9M63. Please explicitly confirm: Whether Team ID GRP4HM9M63 is currently enabled for Developer ID notarization. Whether there is any hidden account, KYC, legal, compliance, tax, or backend configuration issue blocking notarization. Whether Paid Applications Agreement or bank account setup is required for Developer ID notarization, even though we are not distributing paid apps. What exact action is required from our side. When this paid Developer Program account will become usable for Developer ID notarization. This issue has already blocked us for more than two weeks. We are paying for Apple Developer Program membership, but cannot use a critical Developer ID distribution feature.

Notarization submissions stuck "In Progress" for 17-60+ hours, status page green
Hi, I'm a new Apple Developer Program enrollee (1 week in) shipping a Mac app via Developer ID + notarytool. Hardened runtime enabled, properly timestamped, all embedded Mach-O signed inside-out. 10 submissions are stuck "In Progress" - the oldest from 2026-06-07 (60+ hours ago). One Invalid verdict came back on 2026-06-08 for a real signing issue (unsigned PyQt5 framework binaries) which I've since fixed; the 10 newer submissions should pass cleanly. Apple's system status page has shown Developer ID Notary Service as green ("Operational") this entire time. This appears to be a queue issue specific to my account, not a service-wide outage. xcrun notarytool history: createdDate: 2026-06-09T16:26:37Z id: 4c928b64... status: In Progress (17h) createdDate: 2026-06-09T16:25:26Z id: 74e9feed... status: In Progress (17h) createdDate: 2026-06-08T21:13:31Z id: 8b246574... status: In Progress (37h) createdDate: 2026-06-08T20:59:37Z id: 4a529617... status: In Progress (37h) createdDate: 2026-06-08T18:49:33Z id: ff43d591... status: In Progress (39h) createdDate: 2026-06-08T18:46:27Z id: 60579d8d... status: In Progress (39h) createdDate: 2026-06-08T18:36:02Z id: a82fd14b... status: In Progress (39h) createdDate: 2026-06-08T18:22:45Z id: 4514a5cb... status: In Progress (39h) createdDate: 2026-06-07T21:20:09Z id: 700c8413... status: In Progress (60h) createdDate: 2026-06-07T20:18:08Z id: 2ea83c6c... status: In Progress (60h) xcrun notarytool info on each returns "status: In Progress" with no processedDate set. I understand new submitters can get held for extended in-depth analysis on first submissions, but 60+ hours is past any documented expectation for that. Could a DTS engineer please look at the backend logs and either release the queue or tell me what's specifically blocking these submissions? Thanks!

First Developer ID notarization submissions stuck “In Progress” for 6+ days
Hi, I recently enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and I’m trying to notarize my first Developer ID apps for distribution outside the Mac App Store. All of my valid notarization submissions are stuck in “In Progress”. The oldest one has been stuck since 2026-06-03, and newer submissions are stuck too. None of the valid submissions have moved to Accepted or Invalid, and no log is available. Team ID: TP32Y96XC5 Feedback Assistant: FB22994785 https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/feedback/22994785 Oldest stuck submission: 07865316-b2e0-4529-9790-97a63746d9a9 Hello Developer ID Test.dmg Created: 2026-06-03T12:20:18.595Z Status: In Progress This also happens with other apps/artifacts, so it seems like it may be account-level or team-level rather than an issue with one specific build. Other stuck submissions include: f1574597-154e-4386-a0b1-5560a57dde9d Azad IDE.zip Created: 2026-06-03T23:40:55.335Z aab15661-a883-413a-8a5d-8c78d1d0dabb Azad IDE.zip Created: 2026-06-05T11:29:46.664Z df4bb6dd-38fc-4083-92fa-d0846037fd53 MyMacOSApp-0.1.1-Darwin.dmg Created: 2026-06-05T11:52:54.093Z 305d56b7-a66a-4881-b649-c8738e39f3f2 Azad IDE.zip Created: 2026-06-08T10:58:24.724Z 1947d3c3-fc84-4479-9bee-355c16d51670 Azad IDE.zip Created: 2026-06-08T11:19:58.848Z What I checked: Developer ID certificate is installed and valid. The apps are signed with Developer ID Application: Matan Nahmani (TP32Y96XC5). codesign verification passes locally. Hardened runtime is enabled. notarytool authentication works. notarytool history/info works. notarytool log says the submission log is not yet available for the stuck submissions. I have not received a rejection email for the stuck submissions. Apple Developer System Status shows the notary service as available. Note: I do have one Invalid submission, but that one was intentional. I created it as a negative-control test while following a notarytool tutorial, to confirm that invalid submissions can produce a terminal status. The issue is that all valid Developer ID submissions remain stuck in In Progress. I understand that first-time notarization can take longer because of deeper analysis, but this has now been several days and every valid submission is still pending. Could someone from Apple DTS or the notarization team check whether Team ID TP32Y96XC5 is stuck in the first-time review/notarization queue? Thanks.

Notarization submissions stuck In Progress 100+ hours — newly activated team, no app transfer
I've read Quinn's response on thread 827096 about Developer ID notarization submissions held for "in-depth analysis" on new teams. That guidance fits the general shape of what I'm seeing, but I'm posting a separate thread because (a) my situation does not involve an app transfer — these are the first-ever notarizations under a newly activated team, and (b) I've passed the "usually clears in a day or two" expectation and want to ask a few specific questions that thread didn't cover. Setup macOS app distributed outside the App Store Rust universal binary (aarch64-apple-darwin + x86_64-apple-darwin, merged via lipo) Binary signed with Developer ID Application, hardened runtime (--options runtime) and Secure Timestamp (--timestamp) .pkg built via pkgbuild + productsign with Developer ID Installer Team was activated 2026-05-29 — these are our first notarizations under the account, no prior submission history Submissions Submission A — submitted 2026-05-29T19:18:02Z, currently 100+ hours In Progress Submission B — submitted 2026-06-01, currently 30+ hours In Progress, identical polling behavior (Submission IDs available to DTS on request — happy to share via DM or via the Apple Developer Support case we have open on the same issue.) I submitted B specifically to test whether A was a one-off stuck queue entry. Both stalling identically rules that out and points at a team-level condition rather than a per-submission issue. xcrun notarytool log returns Submission log is not yet available or submissionId does not exist for both — same as the OP's experience on 827096. Local verification — every check in TN2206 passes $ pkgutil --check-signature .pkg Status: signed by a developer certificate issued by Apple for distribution Signed with a trusted timestamp on: 2026-05-29 19:15:36 +0000 Certificate Chain: Developer ID Installer: () Developer ID Certification Authority Apple Root CA $ codesign --verify --strict --verbose=2 valid on disk satisfies its Designated Requirement $ codesign --display --verbose=4 | grep -E '^(Authority|Timestamp|Runtime|TeamIdentifier)=' Authority=Developer ID Application: () Authority=Developer ID Certification Authority Authority=Apple Root CA Timestamp=May 29, 2026 at 12:13:40 PM TeamIdentifier= Runtime Version=26.5.0 xcrun notarytool history returns successfully and lists both submissions, so authentication and connectivity to the notary service are healthy. Developer System Status has shown the Developer ID Notary Service as "Available" throughout. Questions for DTS (Quinn or whoever picks this up) Quinn's 827096 reply describes "in-depth analysis" for new teams clearing in a day or two. Is there a known long-tail beyond that window, and is there anything a team can do to flag itself as ready for processing rather than waiting passively? Does resubmitting (as I did with submission B) extend, restart, or sit independently from the review of submission A? Is the review-completion clock driven by the team's activation date, the first submission, or the cumulative submission history? In other words, does each new submission help the team's signal, or does the system wait for the first to fully clear before evaluating subsequent ones? If we hit the 1-week mark Quinn referenced as the escalation tripwire without resolution, what's the recommended channel — a follow-up reply here, a new thread, Feedback Assistant, or another route? We also have an open Apple Developer Support case on this, currently silent for 4 days. Working that channel in parallel. Thanks in advance for any guidance — and thanks to Quinn for the public visibility he's given this pattern on 827096; it's the most useful documentation on it I've been able to find.

Error 7000 "Team is not yet configured for notarization" — 5+ weeks, KYC docs submitted, still blocked (EU Individual)
Notarization has been rejecting every submission with statusCode 7000 ("Team is not yet configured for notarization") for over five weeks. I'd appreciate any Apple staff who can confirm the gate status or re-route this internally. Account: Team ID: ZLPP2G8NG3 Account type: Individual, ACTIVE membership Region: EU (Czech Republic) The submission is technically clean — this is rejected at the gate, not on content: Developer ID Application cert valid (expires 2031), full WWDR chain Signed with hardened runtime + secure timestamp codesign --verify --deep --strict passes notarytool uploads succeed, then Rejected in ~30-60s log shows "issues": null (the archive is never opened) Confirmed it is NOT app-specific: a 50 KB hello-world C binary, signed the same way, is rejected identically. Latest canary submission: 95833847-e70f-41fe-b61f-c9dc9ffd90ed (2026-05-27) -> 7000 Timeline: 2026-04-20 first 7000 rejection (app, after ~60h "In Progress") 2026-04-29 escalated to engineering (case 102873818441, advisor Ronan) 2026-05-13 advisor Ira (case 102887849530) requested government photo ID + address verification — uploaded same day via the official file-upload portal, autoreply confirmed receipt 2026-05-14 to 05-27 silence; case was closed on Apple side, issue NOT resolved 2026-05-27 still 7000 I've completed everything on my side: License Agreement accepted, Free Apps agreement Active, DSA trader designation done, and the identity-verification documents submitted on May 13. Two weeks later the gate is still down with no reply on either case. Question for Apple staff: can someone confirm whether the identity-verification documents from May 13 reached the team that flips the notarization flag, and whether anything further is needed from me? The support cases have gone quiet and I have no other channel to check status. Thank you.

statusCode 7000 "Team is not yet configured for notarization"
Hello, Adding our case to the long-running thread on this issue (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/118465). Our team is the latest to be hit by statusCode 7000 "Team is not yet configured for notarization", and we'd like to (a) document the data points in case it helps Apple correlate cases and (b) ask the community whether anyone has seen a faster resolution path than what's been reported here over the past 6 years. Our situation Team ID: A92X4FJ5HU Last successful notarization: 2026-05-18 11:23:26 UTC First rejection: 2026-05-18 17:19:15 UTC (~6 hours later, no apparent trigger on our side) Total rejections since: 22 submissions across 9 days, 100% rejected with statusCode 7000 Open support case: 102900780153 What we have already verified Apple Developer Program membership Active (Renewal Sept 17, 2026) Apple Developer Program License Agreement: Accepted Apr 15, 2026 Free Apps Agreement: Active (Apr 15, 2026 — Sept 16, 2026) Paid Apps Agreement: Active (Mar 17, 2026 — Sept 16, 2026) Banking and tax information complete Developer ID Application certificate valid (notBefore 2025-10-12, notAfter 2027-02-01) What we tested Variable Result API key A (Admin role, created 2025-10) Rejected, statusCode 7000 API key B (Admin role, created 2026-05-22) Rejected, statusCode 7000 Same Issuer ID, both keys Same rejection Bundle ID com.matrixai.app (one product) Rejected Bundle ID com.flowith.os.beta (different product) Rejected Locally-rebuilt clean DMG Rejected Pre-existing already-signed DMG Rejected The rejection happens server-side after upload completes — authentication, signing, hardened runtime, and timestamp are all confirmed correct (codesign verifies cleanly, both keys authenticate). The submission is accepted by the notary service, then rejected with statusCode 7000 after a few minutes of "In Progress". Sample submission IDs (all rejected, statusCode 7000) ac52531f-1b9e-4210-8123-54afea90f66f (2026-05-27 10:20 UTC) baba6420-e245-4597-b229-ec5af4b309c5 (2026-05-27 10:23 UTC) 72118f71-9f1d-4ce9-8068-3eca5017104d (2026-05-27 09:49 UTC) Question to the community I've read this entire thread (all 4 pages, 6 years of reports) and the related threads (749857, 813624, 825906, 827589, 130479, 130494, 741721, 809228). The consistent answer from DTS is "this is a Developer Program Support issue, escalate via official channels", but the threads also document wait times of 1 day to 3+ months with no SLA and no transparency. A few questions: Has anyone in 2025 or 2026 had this resolved in under 2 weeks? If yes, what (if anything) on your side accelerated it? Did anyone identify a specific account-level signal (recent agreement re-acceptance, banking change, AppID/Bundle ID conflict, recent role/Account Holder change, recent device verification, etc.) that correlated with the trigger date? Is there any escalation path beyond Case → DPS → "engineers are working on it" loop? Several users on this thread report 39 days, 3 months, 4 separate cases — and DPS still cannot give an ETA. I understand the official answer is "wait for Developer Program Support". Posting this here primarily so Apple has more correlated data points for the engineering team that owns notarization, and so other developers who hit this in the future can find one more datapoint. Thanks.

Developer ID notarization submissions stuck In Progress after app transfer
I’m seeing several Developer ID notarization submissions stuck in “In Progress” after an app transfer. This is for a macOS app distributed outside the Mac App Store. The app was recently transferred to a new Apple Developer team. After the transfer, notarization uploads succeed, but the submissions never complete. The app appears to be Developer ID signed correctly with the new team. I submitted the app through both Xcode Direct Distribution and command-line notarytool. The upload succeeds, but the submissions remain in “In Progress”, and no notarization log is available. Example submission IDs: 5e411dc6-0610-4f9c-8eef-e2a3d0b6a2fb 01bdeeda-3c7e-421a-ae72-6dc081b75e79 986b0c5e-e32f-489f-bc86-3b3c7d7ec91d 193f29b7-b23a-40e7-8324-c076859ca843 notarytool log returns: Submission log is not yet available or submissionId does not exist I also see older submissions from the previous day still stuck in “In Progress”, so this does not look like a normal notarization delay. I’m trying to determine whether this is caused by the recent app transfer / Team ID change, or whether there is anything else I can check locally. Questions: Is it expected for Developer ID notarization jobs to remain “In Progress” for more than a day with no log available? Is there any known issue with Developer ID notarization after an app transfer? If the upload succeeds but no log is ever generated, is there a recommended escalation path for stuck notarization backend jobs?

Notarization Submissions Stuck in “In Progress” Since 18 May 2026
Hello Apple Developer Support Team, This is my first app submission. I submitted my app on 18 May 2026, and since then all notarization submissions have remained in “In Progress” for an unusually long period without completing. Environment macOS 26.2 Notarization tool: xcrun notarytool submit Team ID: HRZ4D6R846 Developer ID signing identity is valid and correctly detected Timeline Issue started on 18 May 2026 Multiple submissions have remained in “In Progress” for 24–72+ hours Current count: 3+ submissions stuck in progress Checks already completed Verified the Developer ID Application certificate is valid and properly installed. Verified app signatures using: codesign -vvv --deep --strict Checked Apple Developer System Status, which currently shows all services as operational Re-submitted using fresh builds and credentials, but the behavior remains unchanged Could you please confirm whether there is any known notarization processing issue on Apple’s side during this period, and advise on the following: How to unblock the currently stuck submissions Whether the “In Progress” submissions should be cancelled and re-submitted Thank you for your assistance. Best regards, Rishikesh Galande

Notarization submissions stuck "In Progress" 24+ hours — first-time enrolment, signing verified clean
Hi, Two notarization submissions on my Team ID are stuck "In Progress" well past normal turnaround. Looking for guidance on whether this is normal first-time-enrolment latency or whether something needs escalating. Team ID: U7N63C278S Submissions: 2ac71ef0-cbfa-4bdd-9059-c2554050de48 — submitted 2026-05-14 08:09 UTC (currently ~48 hours In Progress) c2b557c5-92a2-4c36-996e-812b61b67fe6 — submitted 2026-05-14 11:33 UTC (currently ~46 hours In Progress) Status: xcrun notarytool history shows both as "In Progress" xcrun notarytool info <id> returns no log URL, no message, no error No rejection email received at the APPLE_ID address Apple System Status shows Developer ID Notary Service as green Context: This is my first notarization from a newly enrolled Developer Program account (enrolled ~5 days ago). I'm aware first-time submissions can be subject to longer in-depth analysis, which is why I haven't escalated sooner. Build verification (already done): codesign --verify --deep --strict -verbose=2 exits 0 Hardened runtime flag (0x10000) present on top-level .app and every nested Mach-O Full Developer ID Application chain (signed by Developer ID Application: poojan (U7N63C278S)) Secure timestamp present Universal binary (x86_64 + arm64) Every nested framework, helper app, and binary signed Built with electron-builder, hardened-runtime entitlements, notarized via notarytool submit --wait Question: Is this within expected first-time-enrolment latency, or is there something on the notary service side that needs a nudge? Happy to provide additional codesign output or the .app bundle structure if useful. Thanks for any guidance.

StatusCode 7000 "Team is not yet configured for notarization". It's been over five days, no resolution
Hi all, I'm submitting a Developer ID-signed, hardened-runtime app for notarization. Every submission returns: "statusCode: 7000 statusSummary: Team is not yet configured for notarization. Please contact Developer Programs Support..." Team ID: V67NRZ84A2. Apple Developer membership is active, Developer ID Application certificate is valid, signing/verification all clean. Already opened a support case last week via the recommended path. The "contact page" on the developer site said Apple usually responds within 2 business days.... Has anyone hit this and gotten it resolved? How long did it take, and was there a more effective channel than the standard support form? I've seen people on Reddit claim they've actually been able to call a Developer phone line, but I haven't seen a valid phone number anywhere. I appreciate your response!

Developer ID Application certificate creation
Hello, We are currently in the process of creating our Developer ID Application certificate which is due to expire. While creating the certificate, we were posed with the option of choosing a Developer ID Certificate Intermediary G2 Sub CA which is supported by Xcode 11.4.1 and later Previous Sub CA We currently build our application out of Xcode using Make or CMake files and perform the codesign and productsign using the codesign commands. We also use 2 different build machines, Ventura with Xcode 14.3 for our latest releases High Sierra (10.13) with Xcode 10.1 for legacy releases to support some customers. Can you please let us know which Developer ID Certificate Intermediary we should choose for generating the new Developer ID Application certificate?

4 notarytool submissions stuck "In Progress" 12+ hours (Team NS22D2XK8A)
Hi DTS, I have 4 notarytool submissions all stuck in "In Progress" with no movement for 12+ hours. 'xcrun notarytool log <id›' returns "Submission log is not yet available" for all of them - they don't appear to have been processed at all. Team Identifier: NS22D2XK8A 1 .dmg submission at 2026-05-12T01:35Z (12+ hours stuck) dmg submissions between 10:04Z and 12:12Z This is my first time notarizing with this Team ID - possibly the new-account first-submission "in-depth analysis" delay? The DMG passes every standard check: Signed with Developer ID Application (Team NS22D2XK8A) Hardened runtime on all 6 embedded binaries (codesign flags 0x10000) Full authority chain: Developer ID App → Developer ID CA → Apple Root CA Secure timestamp present Entitlements: allow-jit, allow-unsigned-executable-memory, disable-library-validation, network.client, network.server, files.user-selected. read-write codesign --verify -deep --strict passes cleanly spctl source = "Developer ID Application" (correct) DMG itself signed inside-out per TN2206 I have read the other recent "stuck In Progress" threads from new Developer IDs - same pattern. Could the queue be unblocked, or is there a team-side configuration that needs flipping? Happy to provide submission UUIDs + filenames privately via Feedback Assistant or DM. Thanks!

Apple Developer Support, please respond! I need your help
(Note: I don't need DTS support. This is not a DTS issue, and the standard responses aren't relevant to the situation. I would ask that DTS not respond in lieu of the developer support official) Yesterday, a poster in this forum wrote about his experience waiting several months to get approved to have his apps notarized. He had hit the "status code 7000; Team ID not configured for notarization" block. An Apple Developer Support account responded to him saying they would help the poster. After a month of waiting and praying for Developer Support to approve my Team ID for notarization, and no progress via the official channels, I am rolling the dice that asking Developer Support here will get my account approved or at least moved forward. I just can't wrap my head around why it takes so long to allow a Team ID to submit apps for notarization. My Team ID is V67NRZ84A2, and my support ticket is 102874600970. Spending months and months developing an app, paying the Developer Support annual fee, and then having to sit on your hands for months while your app gathers dust due to the Status Code 7000 bottleneck is very demoralizing. Again, not a DTS issue. The official channels 100% do not work. Developer Support did respond to a poster yesterday, so this is the pathway I'm hoping will lead to my Team ID getting permission to notarize apps. As it stands, no other method is leading to the problem getting resolved.

Notarization rejected with statusCode 7000 for months — “Team is not yet configured for notarization”
Hello, My macOS notarization has been blocked since March with: "status": "Rejected", "statusCode": 7000, "statusSummary": "Team is not yet configured for notarization", "issues": null Latest fresh probe: Submission ID: 3201b921-2313-45fd-b274-0e46d3fb03c2 Upload time: 2026-05-09T12:37:16Z Archive: KwantflowNotaryProbe-20260509T123714Z.zip Status: Rejected Error: -2052 / 7000 Issues: None Support cases: 102842156916 — Development and Technical → Other Development or Technical Questions 102882811151 — Development and Technical → Code Signing The archive uploads successfully and notarytool history/log work, but every submission is rejected before binary validation. The log shows no signing, entitlement, hardened runtime, timestamp, or executable issues. Apple forum answers say this is a Developer Program Support issue, not DTS/code-level. I have already contacted Developer Support, but the issue is still unresolved and blocks our macOS release. Has anyone recently resolved -2052 / 7000 / “Team is not yet configured for notarization”? Did Apple need to manually enable something on the team/account? Thank you.

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.

Notarization stuck at statusCode 7000 ("Team is not yet configured for notarization") for 32 days — DTS case open
Hi all — looking for diagnosis help, posting publicly in case other devs hit the same issue. Symptom Every notarytool submission for the past 32 days returns: statusCode: 7000 statusSummary: "Team is not yet configured for notarization. Please contact Developer Programs Support..." Account state (all healthy as far as I can tell) Team ID: P6V2783F8M Membership: Active, Individual, paid Free Apps Agreement: Active Paid Apps Agreement: Active (signed Jan 4, 2026) W-8BEN tax form: Active Bank account: Active Developer ID Application certificate: valid, used for signing Bundle ID: dev.tinyclaw.desktop (registered) App is correctly signed codesign -dvvv shows: Authority=Developer ID Application: Yang Yang (P6V2783F8M) Authority=Developer ID Certification Authority Authority=Apple Root CA Timestamp=Apr 11, 2026 Hardened runtime + secure timestamp both enabled. spctl --assess passes locally. Submissions (all rejected with 7000) 5a903f08-bd17-4d59-ac63-12e191e2bb5a 49b670da-0f79-4814-809a-f675791f15c3 febfb37a-b445-4d03-b7c4-bf573304f219 9013e185-10e2-42d4-91c1-3378083266eb bfc64627-5eb6-402c-ac25-e79648d2c251 (latest, 2026-05-02) Different builds, different versions (0.5.22-beta.7 → 0.5.27), different DMGs. Same 7000 every time. Credentials revalidated with a fresh app-specific password — same result. DTS Case 102855668616 open since Apr 2 — 4+ weeks of template responses, no engineering progress. Question Has anyone seen 7000 persist this long after a clean Individual enrollment? Is there a specific team-side flag that has to be flipped server-side, that DTS L1 can't see or escalate? Any suggestion on which DTS topic forces escalation to the notarization service team specifically? Happy to share more diagnostic output. Thanks.

Notarization stuck "In Progress" for 65+ hours on multiple submissions, new Developer ID Application
Hi all, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program on April 29 and immediately started notarizing my Electron-based macOS app. All submissions are stuck "In Progress" for 24–67 hours, with no Accepted or Invalid verdict. Team ID: VKFQG6Q29S Account: Individual, newly enrolled 2026-04-29 Submissions stuck (all "In Progress"): 2142f524-4c36-4452-a25d-2260d3b7010d (created 2026-04-30, ~50h) 6237312a-ae36-4a98-8ffe-37193c150a69 (created 2026-04-30, ~54h) 5184f493-f574-4f34-a536-8184bf4ce4eb (created 2026-04-29, ~64h) c108ed9f-1908-4c47-9b32-c55d34da99c7 (created 2026-04-29, ~67h) e1502fcd-dad6-402d-a0aa-550a1907ee46 (created 2026-05-01, fresh — submitted via App Store Connect API key as a control) What I have verified: Developer ID Application certificate is valid and trusted (security find-identity -v -p codesigning shows it) Inside-out signing: every Mach-O binary signed individually with hardened runtime, secure timestamp, entitlements; Helper apps and frameworks sealed top-level AFTER inner binaries; parent .app sealed last; DMG container codesigned codesign --verify --deep --strict --verbose=2 /path/to/app → "valid on disk" and "satisfies its Designated Requirement" I tried both auth methods: App-Specific Password (notarytool keychain profile A) and App Store Connect API Key (Team Key, Developer role, validated successfully). Both produce the same "In Progress" stall. Three earlier submissions returned "Invalid" within minutes with concrete errors (missing entitlements on shm-bridge .dylib, broken parent seal etc.), which I fixed. After the fixes, every submission gets stuck "In Progress" with no terminal status. I opened a Code Signing support case (102882655678) on April 30, no response yet. Has anyone else experienced extended "In Progress" hold on a freshly enrolled Developer ID? Is there a known first-submission review queue, and what's the typical SLA? Any way to escalate or is waiting the only path? Thank you.

Stapler returned with EX_NOHOST (68)
Dear Apple Support, sometimes we observe exit code 68 in stapling via xcrun stapler staple <pkg_file.pkg> The notarization went fine but then stapling does not work. The output for the last ast failed launch looks like Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1001 "The request timed out."

What is your suggestion to avoid this failure and stabilizing our automation of notarization? Best ergards, Stefan

Notary service: submissions stuck "In Progress" for days, never completing
I'm hitting what looks like a service-side notarization problem and could use a pointer on how to get it escalated. Over the past 3 days I've submitted 9 times with notarytool. Only 2 came back Accepted. The other 7 are stuck at "In Progress" and never reach a terminal state, no Accepted, no Invalid, no log (notarytool log says it isn't available yet), and no email. The oldest has been sitting ~71 hours. Signing checks out: codesign --verify --deep --strict passes and satisfies the Designated Requirement, hardened runtime with a secure timestamp, no get-task-allow, signed with my Developer ID, and the DMGs are signed before submission. The 2 submissions that completed were Accepted, so credentials and signing are fine. It really looks like the service just isn't processing most of my submissions. This is a newly enrolled account, and I've filed FB22939442 and have an open Developer Support case. Is this a known issue for new accounts, and is there a way to get these submissions looked at? Environment: macOS 26.2, Xcode 26.5, notarytool 1.1.2 (41).

Urgent escalation required: paid Developer Program account unusable for notarization for more than two weeks
Hello Apple Developer Support, I am requesting maximum escalation for this case. My paid Apple Developer Program account has been unusable for Developer ID notarization for more than two weeks. This blocks macOS distribution entirely, despite the fact that the membership is active and all visible account requirements appear to be completed. Team ID: GRP4HM9M63 Apple Developer Program: Active Account status already checked: Apple Developer Program membership is active Apple Developer Program License Agreement is accepted Apple Developer Agreement is accepted Free Apps Agreement is active W-8BEN tax form is active Developer ID Application certificate exists and is active The applications are signed with Developer ID Application Hardened Runtime is enabled Local codesign verification passes Despite this, notarization is still unavailable for this Team. This is not an issue with a specific app, archive, DMG, ZIP, signing configuration, or binary validation. Multiple different apps and archives are rejected with the same account-level error before binary validation. Recent failed submissions: Cassini.zip Submission ID: a429460d-cdf9-47cc-9731-90bac71286af Status: Rejected Status code: 7000 Status summary: “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.” Issues: null Lunoura.zip Submission ID: 3aa46853-b3c7-4076-a08d-f9e4db9bea64 Status: Rejected Status code: 7000 Status summary: “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.” Issues: null Earlier submissions for Cassini.dmg and Cassini.zip were also rejected with the same statusCode 7000. Since multiple unrelated archives are affected and all logs contain issues: null, this clearly appears to be a Developer Team/account configuration issue on Apple’s side, not an application validation issue. Please escalate this case to the appropriate Developer Program / notarization backend team and urgently check the notarization configuration for Team ID GRP4HM9M63. Please explicitly confirm: Whether Team ID GRP4HM9M63 is currently enabled for Developer ID notarization. Whether there is any hidden account, KYC, legal, compliance, tax, or backend configuration issue blocking notarization. Whether Paid Applications Agreement or bank account setup is required for Developer ID notarization, even though we are not distributing paid apps. What exact action is required from our side. When this paid Developer Program account will become usable for Developer ID notarization. This issue has already blocked us for more than two weeks. We are paying for Apple Developer Program membership, but cannot use a critical Developer ID distribution feature.

Notarization submissions stuck "In Progress" for 17-60+ hours, status page green
Hi, I'm a new Apple Developer Program enrollee (1 week in) shipping a Mac app via Developer ID + notarytool. Hardened runtime enabled, properly timestamped, all embedded Mach-O signed inside-out. 10 submissions are stuck "In Progress" - the oldest from 2026-06-07 (60+ hours ago). One Invalid verdict came back on 2026-06-08 for a real signing issue (unsigned PyQt5 framework binaries) which I've since fixed; the 10 newer submissions should pass cleanly. Apple's system status page has shown Developer ID Notary Service as green ("Operational") this entire time. This appears to be a queue issue specific to my account, not a service-wide outage. xcrun notarytool history: createdDate: 2026-06-09T16:26:37Z id: 4c928b64... status: In Progress (17h) createdDate: 2026-06-09T16:25:26Z id: 74e9feed... status: In Progress (17h) createdDate: 2026-06-08T21:13:31Z id: 8b246574... status: In Progress (37h) createdDate: 2026-06-08T20:59:37Z id: 4a529617... status: In Progress (37h) createdDate: 2026-06-08T18:49:33Z id: ff43d591... status: In Progress (39h) createdDate: 2026-06-08T18:46:27Z id: 60579d8d... status: In Progress (39h) createdDate: 2026-06-08T18:36:02Z id: a82fd14b... status: In Progress (39h) createdDate: 2026-06-08T18:22:45Z id: 4514a5cb... status: In Progress (39h) createdDate: 2026-06-07T21:20:09Z id: 700c8413... status: In Progress (60h) createdDate: 2026-06-07T20:18:08Z id: 2ea83c6c... status: In Progress (60h) xcrun notarytool info on each returns "status: In Progress" with no processedDate set. I understand new submitters can get held for extended in-depth analysis on first submissions, but 60+ hours is past any documented expectation for that. Could a DTS engineer please look at the backend logs and either release the queue or tell me what's specifically blocking these submissions? Thanks!

First Developer ID notarization submissions stuck “In Progress” for 6+ days
Hi, I recently enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and I’m trying to notarize my first Developer ID apps for distribution outside the Mac App Store. All of my valid notarization submissions are stuck in “In Progress”. The oldest one has been stuck since 2026-06-03, and newer submissions are stuck too. None of the valid submissions have moved to Accepted or Invalid, and no log is available. Team ID: TP32Y96XC5 Feedback Assistant: FB22994785 https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/feedback/22994785 Oldest stuck submission: 07865316-b2e0-4529-9790-97a63746d9a9 Hello Developer ID Test.dmg Created: 2026-06-03T12:20:18.595Z Status: In Progress This also happens with other apps/artifacts, so it seems like it may be account-level or team-level rather than an issue with one specific build. Other stuck submissions include: f1574597-154e-4386-a0b1-5560a57dde9d Azad IDE.zip Created: 2026-06-03T23:40:55.335Z aab15661-a883-413a-8a5d-8c78d1d0dabb Azad IDE.zip Created: 2026-06-05T11:29:46.664Z df4bb6dd-38fc-4083-92fa-d0846037fd53 MyMacOSApp-0.1.1-Darwin.dmg Created: 2026-06-05T11:52:54.093Z 305d56b7-a66a-4881-b649-c8738e39f3f2 Azad IDE.zip Created: 2026-06-08T10:58:24.724Z 1947d3c3-fc84-4479-9bee-355c16d51670 Azad IDE.zip Created: 2026-06-08T11:19:58.848Z What I checked: Developer ID certificate is installed and valid. The apps are signed with Developer ID Application: Matan Nahmani (TP32Y96XC5). codesign verification passes locally. Hardened runtime is enabled. notarytool authentication works. notarytool history/info works. notarytool log says the submission log is not yet available for the stuck submissions. I have not received a rejection email for the stuck submissions. Apple Developer System Status shows the notary service as available. Note: I do have one Invalid submission, but that one was intentional. I created it as a negative-control test while following a notarytool tutorial, to confirm that invalid submissions can produce a terminal status. The issue is that all valid Developer ID submissions remain stuck in In Progress. I understand that first-time notarization can take longer because of deeper analysis, but this has now been several days and every valid submission is still pending. Could someone from Apple DTS or the notarization team check whether Team ID TP32Y96XC5 is stuck in the first-time review/notarization queue? Thanks.

Notarization Stuck
Seeing my notarizations getting stuck. This is becoming a blocker for releasing. What's strange is that earlier versions of the same app (very similar) passed notarization very quickly. Any advice or recourse?

Notarization submissions stuck In Progress 100+ hours — newly activated team, no app transfer
I've read Quinn's response on thread 827096 about Developer ID notarization submissions held for "in-depth analysis" on new teams. That guidance fits the general shape of what I'm seeing, but I'm posting a separate thread because (a) my situation does not involve an app transfer — these are the first-ever notarizations under a newly activated team, and (b) I've passed the "usually clears in a day or two" expectation and want to ask a few specific questions that thread didn't cover. Setup macOS app distributed outside the App Store Rust universal binary (aarch64-apple-darwin + x86_64-apple-darwin, merged via lipo) Binary signed with Developer ID Application, hardened runtime (--options runtime) and Secure Timestamp (--timestamp) .pkg built via pkgbuild + productsign with Developer ID Installer Team was activated 2026-05-29 — these are our first notarizations under the account, no prior submission history Submissions Submission A — submitted 2026-05-29T19:18:02Z, currently 100+ hours In Progress Submission B — submitted 2026-06-01, currently 30+ hours In Progress, identical polling behavior (Submission IDs available to DTS on request — happy to share via DM or via the Apple Developer Support case we have open on the same issue.) I submitted B specifically to test whether A was a one-off stuck queue entry. Both stalling identically rules that out and points at a team-level condition rather than a per-submission issue. xcrun notarytool log returns Submission log is not yet available or submissionId does not exist for both — same as the OP's experience on 827096. Local verification — every check in TN2206 passes $ pkgutil --check-signature .pkg Status: signed by a developer certificate issued by Apple for distribution Signed with a trusted timestamp on: 2026-05-29 19:15:36 +0000 Certificate Chain: Developer ID Installer: () Developer ID Certification Authority Apple Root CA $ codesign --verify --strict --verbose=2 valid on disk satisfies its Designated Requirement $ codesign --display --verbose=4 | grep -E '^(Authority|Timestamp|Runtime|TeamIdentifier)=' Authority=Developer ID Application: () Authority=Developer ID Certification Authority Authority=Apple Root CA Timestamp=May 29, 2026 at 12:13:40 PM TeamIdentifier= Runtime Version=26.5.0 xcrun notarytool history returns successfully and lists both submissions, so authentication and connectivity to the notary service are healthy. Developer System Status has shown the Developer ID Notary Service as "Available" throughout. Questions for DTS (Quinn or whoever picks this up) Quinn's 827096 reply describes "in-depth analysis" for new teams clearing in a day or two. Is there a known long-tail beyond that window, and is there anything a team can do to flag itself as ready for processing rather than waiting passively? Does resubmitting (as I did with submission B) extend, restart, or sit independently from the review of submission A? Is the review-completion clock driven by the team's activation date, the first submission, or the cumulative submission history? In other words, does each new submission help the team's signal, or does the system wait for the first to fully clear before evaluating subsequent ones? If we hit the 1-week mark Quinn referenced as the escalation tripwire without resolution, what's the recommended channel — a follow-up reply here, a new thread, Feedback Assistant, or another route? We also have an open Apple Developer Support case on this, currently silent for 4 days. Working that channel in parallel. Thanks in advance for any guidance — and thanks to Quinn for the public visibility he's given this pattern on 827096; it's the most useful documentation on it I've been able to find.

Error 7000 "Team is not yet configured for notarization" — 5+ weeks, KYC docs submitted, still blocked (EU Individual)
Notarization has been rejecting every submission with statusCode 7000 ("Team is not yet configured for notarization") for over five weeks. I'd appreciate any Apple staff who can confirm the gate status or re-route this internally. Account: Team ID: ZLPP2G8NG3 Account type: Individual, ACTIVE membership Region: EU (Czech Republic) The submission is technically clean — this is rejected at the gate, not on content: Developer ID Application cert valid (expires 2031), full WWDR chain Signed with hardened runtime + secure timestamp codesign --verify --deep --strict passes notarytool uploads succeed, then Rejected in ~30-60s log shows "issues": null (the archive is never opened) Confirmed it is NOT app-specific: a 50 KB hello-world C binary, signed the same way, is rejected identically. Latest canary submission: 95833847-e70f-41fe-b61f-c9dc9ffd90ed (2026-05-27) -> 7000 Timeline: 2026-04-20 first 7000 rejection (app, after ~60h "In Progress") 2026-04-29 escalated to engineering (case 102873818441, advisor Ronan) 2026-05-13 advisor Ira (case 102887849530) requested government photo ID + address verification — uploaded same day via the official file-upload portal, autoreply confirmed receipt 2026-05-14 to 05-27 silence; case was closed on Apple side, issue NOT resolved 2026-05-27 still 7000 I've completed everything on my side: License Agreement accepted, Free Apps agreement Active, DSA trader designation done, and the identity-verification documents submitted on May 13. Two weeks later the gate is still down with no reply on either case. Question for Apple staff: can someone confirm whether the identity-verification documents from May 13 reached the team that flips the notarization flag, and whether anything further is needed from me? The support cases have gone quiet and I have no other channel to check status. Thank you.

statusCode 7000 "Team is not yet configured for notarization"
Hello, Adding our case to the long-running thread on this issue (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/118465). Our team is the latest to be hit by statusCode 7000 "Team is not yet configured for notarization", and we'd like to (a) document the data points in case it helps Apple correlate cases and (b) ask the community whether anyone has seen a faster resolution path than what's been reported here over the past 6 years. Our situation Team ID: A92X4FJ5HU Last successful notarization: 2026-05-18 11:23:26 UTC First rejection: 2026-05-18 17:19:15 UTC (~6 hours later, no apparent trigger on our side) Total rejections since: 22 submissions across 9 days, 100% rejected with statusCode 7000 Open support case: 102900780153 What we have already verified Apple Developer Program membership Active (Renewal Sept 17, 2026) Apple Developer Program License Agreement: Accepted Apr 15, 2026 Free Apps Agreement: Active (Apr 15, 2026 — Sept 16, 2026) Paid Apps Agreement: Active (Mar 17, 2026 — Sept 16, 2026) Banking and tax information complete Developer ID Application certificate valid (notBefore 2025-10-12, notAfter 2027-02-01) What we tested Variable Result API key A (Admin role, created 2025-10) Rejected, statusCode 7000 API key B (Admin role, created 2026-05-22) Rejected, statusCode 7000 Same Issuer ID, both keys Same rejection Bundle ID com.matrixai.app (one product) Rejected Bundle ID com.flowith.os.beta (different product) Rejected Locally-rebuilt clean DMG Rejected Pre-existing already-signed DMG Rejected The rejection happens server-side after upload completes — authentication, signing, hardened runtime, and timestamp are all confirmed correct (codesign verifies cleanly, both keys authenticate). The submission is accepted by the notary service, then rejected with statusCode 7000 after a few minutes of "In Progress". Sample submission IDs (all rejected, statusCode 7000) ac52531f-1b9e-4210-8123-54afea90f66f (2026-05-27 10:20 UTC) baba6420-e245-4597-b229-ec5af4b309c5 (2026-05-27 10:23 UTC) 72118f71-9f1d-4ce9-8068-3eca5017104d (2026-05-27 09:49 UTC) Question to the community I've read this entire thread (all 4 pages, 6 years of reports) and the related threads (749857, 813624, 825906, 827589, 130479, 130494, 741721, 809228). The consistent answer from DTS is "this is a Developer Program Support issue, escalate via official channels", but the threads also document wait times of 1 day to 3+ months with no SLA and no transparency. A few questions: Has anyone in 2025 or 2026 had this resolved in under 2 weeks? If yes, what (if anything) on your side accelerated it? Did anyone identify a specific account-level signal (recent agreement re-acceptance, banking change, AppID/Bundle ID conflict, recent role/Account Holder change, recent device verification, etc.) that correlated with the trigger date? Is there any escalation path beyond Case → DPS → "engineers are working on it" loop? Several users on this thread report 39 days, 3 months, 4 separate cases — and DPS still cannot give an ETA. I understand the official answer is "wait for Developer Program Support". Posting this here primarily so Apple has more correlated data points for the engineering team that owns notarization, and so other developers who hit this in the future can find one more datapoint. Thanks.

Developer ID notarization submissions stuck In Progress after app transfer
I’m seeing several Developer ID notarization submissions stuck in “In Progress” after an app transfer. This is for a macOS app distributed outside the Mac App Store. The app was recently transferred to a new Apple Developer team. After the transfer, notarization uploads succeed, but the submissions never complete. The app appears to be Developer ID signed correctly with the new team. I submitted the app through both Xcode Direct Distribution and command-line notarytool. The upload succeeds, but the submissions remain in “In Progress”, and no notarization log is available. Example submission IDs: 5e411dc6-0610-4f9c-8eef-e2a3d0b6a2fb 01bdeeda-3c7e-421a-ae72-6dc081b75e79 986b0c5e-e32f-489f-bc86-3b3c7d7ec91d 193f29b7-b23a-40e7-8324-c076859ca843 notarytool log returns: Submission log is not yet available or submissionId does not exist I also see older submissions from the previous day still stuck in “In Progress”, so this does not look like a normal notarization delay. I’m trying to determine whether this is caused by the recent app transfer / Team ID change, or whether there is anything else I can check locally. Questions: Is it expected for Developer ID notarization jobs to remain “In Progress” for more than a day with no log available? Is there any known issue with Developer ID notarization after an app transfer? If the upload succeeds but no log is ever generated, is there a recommended escalation path for stuck notarization backend jobs?

Notarization Submissions Stuck in “In Progress” Since 18 May 2026
Hello Apple Developer Support Team, This is my first app submission. I submitted my app on 18 May 2026, and since then all notarization submissions have remained in “In Progress” for an unusually long period without completing. Environment macOS 26.2 Notarization tool: xcrun notarytool submit Team ID: HRZ4D6R846 Developer ID signing identity is valid and correctly detected Timeline Issue started on 18 May 2026 Multiple submissions have remained in “In Progress” for 24–72+ hours Current count: 3+ submissions stuck in progress Checks already completed Verified the Developer ID Application certificate is valid and properly installed. Verified app signatures using: codesign -vvv --deep --strict Checked Apple Developer System Status, which currently shows all services as operational Re-submitted using fresh builds and credentials, but the behavior remains unchanged Could you please confirm whether there is any known notarization processing issue on Apple’s side during this period, and advise on the following: How to unblock the currently stuck submissions Whether the “In Progress” submissions should be cancelled and re-submitted Thank you for your assistance. Best regards, Rishikesh Galande

Notarization submissions stuck "In Progress" 24+ hours — first-time enrolment, signing verified clean
Hi, Two notarization submissions on my Team ID are stuck "In Progress" well past normal turnaround. Looking for guidance on whether this is normal first-time-enrolment latency or whether something needs escalating. Team ID: U7N63C278S Submissions: 2ac71ef0-cbfa-4bdd-9059-c2554050de48 — submitted 2026-05-14 08:09 UTC (currently ~48 hours In Progress) c2b557c5-92a2-4c36-996e-812b61b67fe6 — submitted 2026-05-14 11:33 UTC (currently ~46 hours In Progress) Status: xcrun notarytool history shows both as "In Progress" xcrun notarytool info <id> returns no log URL, no message, no error No rejection email received at the APPLE_ID address Apple System Status shows Developer ID Notary Service as green Context: This is my first notarization from a newly enrolled Developer Program account (enrolled ~5 days ago). I'm aware first-time submissions can be subject to longer in-depth analysis, which is why I haven't escalated sooner. Build verification (already done): codesign --verify --deep --strict -verbose=2 exits 0 Hardened runtime flag (0x10000) present on top-level .app and every nested Mach-O Full Developer ID Application chain (signed by Developer ID Application: poojan (U7N63C278S)) Secure timestamp present Universal binary (x86_64 + arm64) Every nested framework, helper app, and binary signed Built with electron-builder, hardened-runtime entitlements, notarized via notarytool submit --wait Question: Is this within expected first-time-enrolment latency, or is there something on the notary service side that needs a nudge? Happy to provide additional codesign output or the .app bundle structure if useful. Thanks for any guidance.

StatusCode 7000 "Team is not yet configured for notarization". It's been over five days, no resolution
Hi all, I'm submitting a Developer ID-signed, hardened-runtime app for notarization. Every submission returns: "statusCode: 7000 statusSummary: Team is not yet configured for notarization. Please contact Developer Programs Support..." Team ID: V67NRZ84A2. Apple Developer membership is active, Developer ID Application certificate is valid, signing/verification all clean. Already opened a support case last week via the recommended path. The "contact page" on the developer site said Apple usually responds within 2 business days.... Has anyone hit this and gotten it resolved? How long did it take, and was there a more effective channel than the standard support form? I've seen people on Reddit claim they've actually been able to call a Developer phone line, but I haven't seen a valid phone number anywhere. I appreciate your response!

Developer ID Application certificate creation
Hello, We are currently in the process of creating our Developer ID Application certificate which is due to expire. While creating the certificate, we were posed with the option of choosing a Developer ID Certificate Intermediary G2 Sub CA which is supported by Xcode 11.4.1 and later Previous Sub CA We currently build our application out of Xcode using Make or CMake files and perform the codesign and productsign using the codesign commands. We also use 2 different build machines, Ventura with Xcode 14.3 for our latest releases High Sierra (10.13) with Xcode 10.1 for legacy releases to support some customers. Can you please let us know which Developer ID Certificate Intermediary we should choose for generating the new Developer ID Application certificate?

4 notarytool submissions stuck "In Progress" 12+ hours (Team NS22D2XK8A)
Hi DTS, I have 4 notarytool submissions all stuck in "In Progress" with no movement for 12+ hours. 'xcrun notarytool log <id›' returns "Submission log is not yet available" for all of them - they don't appear to have been processed at all. Team Identifier: NS22D2XK8A 1 .dmg submission at 2026-05-12T01:35Z (12+ hours stuck) dmg submissions between 10:04Z and 12:12Z This is my first time notarizing with this Team ID - possibly the new-account first-submission "in-depth analysis" delay? The DMG passes every standard check: Signed with Developer ID Application (Team NS22D2XK8A) Hardened runtime on all 6 embedded binaries (codesign flags 0x10000) Full authority chain: Developer ID App → Developer ID CA → Apple Root CA Secure timestamp present Entitlements: allow-jit, allow-unsigned-executable-memory, disable-library-validation, network.client, network.server, files.user-selected. read-write codesign --verify -deep --strict passes cleanly spctl source = "Developer ID Application" (correct) DMG itself signed inside-out per TN2206 I have read the other recent "stuck In Progress" threads from new Developer IDs - same pattern. Could the queue be unblocked, or is there a team-side configuration that needs flipping? Happy to provide submission UUIDs + filenames privately via Feedback Assistant or DM. Thanks!

Apple Developer Support, please respond! I need your help
(Note: I don't need DTS support. This is not a DTS issue, and the standard responses aren't relevant to the situation. I would ask that DTS not respond in lieu of the developer support official) Yesterday, a poster in this forum wrote about his experience waiting several months to get approved to have his apps notarized. He had hit the "status code 7000; Team ID not configured for notarization" block. An Apple Developer Support account responded to him saying they would help the poster. After a month of waiting and praying for Developer Support to approve my Team ID for notarization, and no progress via the official channels, I am rolling the dice that asking Developer Support here will get my account approved or at least moved forward. I just can't wrap my head around why it takes so long to allow a Team ID to submit apps for notarization. My Team ID is V67NRZ84A2, and my support ticket is 102874600970. Spending months and months developing an app, paying the Developer Support annual fee, and then having to sit on your hands for months while your app gathers dust due to the Status Code 7000 bottleneck is very demoralizing. Again, not a DTS issue. The official channels 100% do not work. Developer Support did respond to a poster yesterday, so this is the pathway I'm hoping will lead to my Team ID getting permission to notarize apps. As it stands, no other method is leading to the problem getting resolved.

Notarization rejected with statusCode 7000 for months — “Team is not yet configured for notarization”
Hello, My macOS notarization has been blocked since March with: "status": "Rejected", "statusCode": 7000, "statusSummary": "Team is not yet configured for notarization", "issues": null Latest fresh probe: Submission ID: 3201b921-2313-45fd-b274-0e46d3fb03c2 Upload time: 2026-05-09T12:37:16Z Archive: KwantflowNotaryProbe-20260509T123714Z.zip Status: Rejected Error: -2052 / 7000 Issues: None Support cases: 102842156916 — Development and Technical → Other Development or Technical Questions 102882811151 — Development and Technical → Code Signing The archive uploads successfully and notarytool history/log work, but every submission is rejected before binary validation. The log shows no signing, entitlement, hardened runtime, timestamp, or executable issues. Apple forum answers say this is a Developer Program Support issue, not DTS/code-level. I have already contacted Developer Support, but the issue is still unresolved and blocks our macOS release. Has anyone recently resolved -2052 / 7000 / “Team is not yet configured for notarization”? Did Apple need to manually enable something on the team/account? Thank you.

Notarization stuck at statusCode 7000 ("Team is not yet configured for notarization") for 32 days — DTS case open
Hi all — looking for diagnosis help, posting publicly in case other devs hit the same issue. Symptom Every notarytool submission for the past 32 days returns: statusCode: 7000 statusSummary: "Team is not yet configured for notarization. Please contact Developer Programs Support..." Account state (all healthy as far as I can tell) Team ID: P6V2783F8M Membership: Active, Individual, paid Free Apps Agreement: Active Paid Apps Agreement: Active (signed Jan 4, 2026) W-8BEN tax form: Active Bank account: Active Developer ID Application certificate: valid, used for signing Bundle ID: dev.tinyclaw.desktop (registered) App is correctly signed codesign -dvvv shows: Authority=Developer ID Application: Yang Yang (P6V2783F8M) Authority=Developer ID Certification Authority Authority=Apple Root CA Timestamp=Apr 11, 2026 Hardened runtime + secure timestamp both enabled. spctl --assess passes locally. Submissions (all rejected with 7000) 5a903f08-bd17-4d59-ac63-12e191e2bb5a 49b670da-0f79-4814-809a-f675791f15c3 febfb37a-b445-4d03-b7c4-bf573304f219 9013e185-10e2-42d4-91c1-3378083266eb bfc64627-5eb6-402c-ac25-e79648d2c251 (latest, 2026-05-02) Different builds, different versions (0.5.22-beta.7 → 0.5.27), different DMGs. Same 7000 every time. Credentials revalidated with a fresh app-specific password — same result. DTS Case 102855668616 open since Apr 2 — 4+ weeks of template responses, no engineering progress. Question Has anyone seen 7000 persist this long after a clean Individual enrollment? Is there a specific team-side flag that has to be flipped server-side, that DTS L1 can't see or escalate? Any suggestion on which DTS topic forces escalation to the notarization service team specifically? Happy to share more diagnostic output. Thanks.

Notarization stuck "In Progress" for 65+ hours on multiple submissions, new Developer ID Application
Hi all, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program on April 29 and immediately started notarizing my Electron-based macOS app. All submissions are stuck "In Progress" for 24–67 hours, with no Accepted or Invalid verdict. Team ID: VKFQG6Q29S Account: Individual, newly enrolled 2026-04-29 Submissions stuck (all "In Progress"): 2142f524-4c36-4452-a25d-2260d3b7010d (created 2026-04-30, ~50h) 6237312a-ae36-4a98-8ffe-37193c150a69 (created 2026-04-30, ~54h) 5184f493-f574-4f34-a536-8184bf4ce4eb (created 2026-04-29, ~64h) c108ed9f-1908-4c47-9b32-c55d34da99c7 (created 2026-04-29, ~67h) e1502fcd-dad6-402d-a0aa-550a1907ee46 (created 2026-05-01, fresh — submitted via App Store Connect API key as a control) What I have verified: Developer ID Application certificate is valid and trusted (security find-identity -v -p codesigning shows it) Inside-out signing: every Mach-O binary signed individually with hardened runtime, secure timestamp, entitlements; Helper apps and frameworks sealed top-level AFTER inner binaries; parent .app sealed last; DMG container codesigned codesign --verify --deep --strict --verbose=2 /path/to/app → "valid on disk" and "satisfies its Designated Requirement" I tried both auth methods: App-Specific Password (notarytool keychain profile A) and App Store Connect API Key (Team Key, Developer role, validated successfully). Both produce the same "In Progress" stall. Three earlier submissions returned "Invalid" within minutes with concrete errors (missing entitlements on shm-bridge .dylib, broken parent seal etc.), which I fixed. After the fixes, every submission gets stuck "In Progress" with no terminal status. I opened a Code Signing support case (102882655678) on April 30, no response yet. Has anyone else experienced extended "In Progress" hold on a freshly enrolled Developer ID? Is there a known first-submission review queue, and what's the typical SLA? Any way to escalate or is waiting the only path? Thank you.

Stapler returned with EX_NOHOST (68)
Dear Apple Support, sometimes we observe exit code 68 in stapling via xcrun stapler staple <pkg_file.pkg> The notarization went fine but then stapling does not work. The output for the last ast failed launch looks like Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1001 "The request timed out." UserInfo={_kCFStreamErrorCodeKey=-2102, NSUnderlyingError=0x60000363c7b0 {Error Domain=kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork Code=-1001 "(null)" UserInfo={_kCFStreamErrorCodeKey=-2102, _kCFStreamErrorDomainKey=4}}, _NSURLErrorFailingURLSessionTaskErrorKey=LocalDataTask <4F2E1620-9251-4525-91E7-C5F3E3681CD0>.<1>, _NSURLErrorRelatedURLSessionTaskErrorKey=( "LocalDataTask <4F2E1620-9251-4525-91E7-C5F3E3681CD0>.<1>" NSLocalizedDescription=The request timed out., NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=https://api.apple-cloudkit.com/database/1/com.apple.gk.ticket-delivery/production/public/records/lookup, NSErrorFailingURLKey=https://api.apple-cloudkit.com/database/1/com.apple.gk.ticket-delivery/production/public/records/lookup, _kCFStreamErrorDomainKey=4} CloudKit's response is inconsistent with expections: (null) As per manual of stapler and sysexit(3) the exit code means EX_NOHOST (68) The host specified did not exist. This is used in mail addresses or network requests. Make a retry sense or is there any other things which is not set correctly at that time? What is your suggestion to avoid this failure and stabilizing our automation of notarization? Best ergards, Stefan
