Notarization for Direct Distribution Stuck “In Progress” for Hours

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to notarize a macOS app for direct distribution through Xcode, and the notarization step has been stuck on “In Progress” for hours now. The upload completed fine, but since then I haven’t gotten any feedback at all: no email, no notification.

Organizer just shows:

Status: In Progress

I’ve tried closing/reopening Organizer, and even re-archiving the app, but it always sits in the same state.

Is this just a delay on Apple’s side, or is there something I might have misconfigured? Any tips on how to get more insight into what’s going on?

Thanks!

You can expect that most uploads will be notarised quickly. Occasionally, some uploads are held for in-depth 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.

Share and Enjoy
