Hi,

I’m requesting investigation of two CtxVault notarization submissions that have remained "In Progress" well past 24 hours.

Team ID: DCY4ZS6CS6 App / archive: CtxVault.zip Platform: macOS direct distribution

Pending submissions:

e2f25e8c-8bf6-44e6-8e60-24b22467b7e6 — created 2026-04-22T12:50:04.988Z — still In Progress
1f41ff2d-cf61-4509-beba-3389f4496ba7 — created 2026-04-22T12:40:23.167Z — still In Progress

Context:

This is a new Developer ID release path for a personal team.
Earlier submissions were Invalid due to unsigned nested Mach-O files inside a bundled Python runtime.
That issue was corrected before the two pending submissions above.
The current app is signed with Developer ID Application, hardened runtime, and secure timestamps.
Local validation passes:
- codesign --verify --deep --strict
- spctl assessment on the signed app
notarytool accepts the upload and returns submission IDs, but the submissions do not complete and no log is yet available.

Earlier invalid submission for context:

b4e665a0-98eb-4b92-b44c-58a0a2c6122e

Could someone from Apple please confirm whether this team is stuck in queue or under extended review, and whether any team-side provisioning or backend action is needed?

I am intentionally not creating more duplicate submissions while these corrected jobs remain pending.

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.

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.

Regarding your specific questions, they’re verify similar to the ones that I just responded to here.
