Developer ID notarization submissions stuck "In Progress" for 13+ hours — Team 7MK3979GD2

Hello,

All of our notarization submissions except one are stuck in "In Progress" with no terminal state. I would appreciate it if someone could confirm whether they are still queued, or whether something on our side is blocking them.

Team ID: 7MK3979GD2
Account: individual, newly enrolled; Developer ID Application certificate issued 2026-10-29
Tool: xcrun notarytool submit with an App Store Connect API key (Team Key, Admin role)
Auth/upload work fine: notarytool info returns "In Progress"; notarytool log says the log is not yet available.

Submissions (all times UTC):

Notes:

  • Submission #2 was accepted in about two and a half minutes, and its log reports "status": "Accepted", "issues": null. All submissions come from the same account, the same certificate and the same build job, so I believe the signed content is compliant.
  • I have not resubmitted the same content. Later attempts are different artifacts from the same pipeline (app zip and DMG).
  • App: GsGPT, an Electron-based macOS desktop app (bundle id cc.ekoaku.gsgpt, version 8.31.0, arm64), signed with Developer ID Application with hardened runtime, to be distributed outside the App Store as a notarized, stapled DMG.
  • I understand that first notarizations from a new account may undergo additional screening. The oldest stuck submission has now been waiting over 13 hours, so I would just like to know whether these are still being processed or have been held.

Could you please confirm the current state of Team 7MK3979GD2's submissions and let me know if anything on our side needs action? I am happy to provide any logs or additional details.

Thank you very much for your time.

Cool.

It’s likely that your requests ended up on the additional analysis path. At the end of this reply you’ll find a copy of my standard spiel about that.

You can expect that most uploads will be notarised quickly. Occasionally, some uploads are held for additional analysis and may take longer to complete. As you notarise your apps, the system will learn how to recognise them, and you should see fewer delays.

For lots of additional info about notarisation, see Notarisation Resources. Specifically, it links to a Q&A with the notary service team that’s quite instructive.
