Hello,
I'm experiencing a persistent issue where all my notarization submissions remain stuck in "In Progress" indefinitely. This has been happening for the past several days, affecting multiple submissions.
Environment:
macOS 26.2 (Build 25C56)
Using xcrun notarytool submit for submissions
Team ID: M3FN25UQK2
Timeline of the issue:
Starting from January 2nd, 2026, my submissions began getting stuck in "In Progress"
As of January 6th, I have 6+ submissions that have been "In Progress" for 24-72+ hours
Prior to this, notarization was working normally (I have multiple "Accepted" submissions from January 1st)
What I've tried:
Verified my Developer ID Application certificate is valid and properly installed
Checked Apple Developer System Status page (shows "Operational")
Verified code signatures using codesign -vvv --deep --strict
Contacted Apple Developer Support (no response yet)
Checked my Apple Developer account for any pending agreements or warnings (none found)
Is there any known issue affecting notarization processing, or could my Team ID be rate-limited/flagged? Any guidance on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi, overnight I'm getting "HTTP status code: 403. Invalid or inaccessible developer team ID for the provided Apple ID. Ensure the Team ID is correct and that you are a member of that team." in my pipeline running notarytool store-credentials. I'm getting --apple-id, --team-id and --password from CI variables. Double checked the values (even though they shouldn't change). Tried a new app specific password
I did not change anything to cause this and my apple developer account is active. Really scratching my head what's going on here. Some assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Notarization
I'm submitting my first macOS app (an Electron app, signed with Developer ID Application certificate and hardened runtime) for notarization using xcrun notarytool submit with App Store Connect API key authentication.
All 6 of my submissions have been stuck at "In Progress" for over 24 hours now. The oldest submission is 27+ hours old. None have transitioned to Accepted or
Invalid.
Here's what I've verified:
Code signing is valid: codesign --verify --deep --strict passes
Hardened runtime is enabled
Uploads succeed: Each submission receives a valid submission ID and the file uploads successfully to Apple's servers
API key auth is working: Using App Store Connect API key (.p8 file), Key ID, and Issuer ID
Tried both locally and via GitHub Actions CI — same result
Polling Apple's status endpoint eventually times out with NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1001 "The request timed out" when checking
https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/notary/v2/submissions/<id>
Logs are not available (notarytool log returns "not yet available" for all submissions)
Apple Developer System Status shows "Developer ID Notary Service" as Available

This is my first time notarizing any app on this developer account. I've seen other threads mentioning that first-time submissions can be "held for in-depth
analysis," but 24+ hours with no feedback at all seems excessive.
Is anyone else currently experiencing this? Is there anything I can do to unblock my account's notarization queue, or do I just need to wait? Any guidance from DTS
would be greatly appreciated.
I've also emailed Apple Developer Support but haven't received a response yet.
