Mac App Notarization processing In Progress for over 16 hours?

The vast majority of notarisation requests complete within 15 minutes. Some requests take significantly longer, sometimes up to a few days. If you find yourself in this situation, I recommend that you wait a few days to see if it clears. My experience is that, once it does clear, subsequent requests will progress quickly.

@eskimo you were right, the first couple of submissions took 24+ hours but subsequent submissions are finishing faster. Only problem is they all say "INVALID"

Processing complete
  id: 1716a97e-6aab-4114-aa04-1d9f20b05241
  status: Invalid
[05:06:27.381Z] Debug [CTXMGR] Removed temporary directory: Optional(file:///var/folders/yn/kvdh5pp92f7f30l42y8r5s780000gn/T/TemporaryItems/NSIRD_notarytool_8YiczJ/)

Any idea on how to debug this? I don't see any additional information on why it's invalid.

Here are the steps I've taken so far

1. Codesign

codesign --deep --force --verbose --sign "Developer ID Application: ..." Open\ Interface.app

1. zip/archive the app

2. Submit for notarization

xcrun notarytool submit --wait --keychain-profile "Developer ID Application: ..." --verbose Open\ Interface.zip

Aha found the log command

xcrun notarytool log 1716a97e-6aab-4114-aa04-1d9f20b05241 --keychain-profile "Developer ID Application: ..."
