Our team (AI Eesti OU, Team ID: W4WXCM4DLL) submitted our first app for notarization and both submissions have been stuck "In Progress" for over 20 hours.

Submission IDs:

7433a69a-af1a-463a-a9fc-c80526eb6eab (submitted 2026-04-06 19:11 UTC)
d033e2f1-9b33-4b7d-8f8d-271c99f1c61c (submitted 2026-04-06 21:03 UTC)

The app is signed with Developer ID Application, hardened runtime enabled, and codesign --verify --deep --strict passes. This is our first notarization submission as a new team.

Is this expected for first-time submissions, or is something stuck?

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.

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.
