@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 Codesign codesign --deep --force --verbose --sign "Developer ID Application: ..." Open\ Interface.app zip/archive the app Submit for notarization xcrun notarytool submit --wait --keychain-profile "Developer ID Application: ..." --verbose Open\ Interface.zip

@donmetzler thanks for the followup comment - do you remember by chance what command you used for codesigning and did you code sign the whole .app folder? I don't know much about the process and have a pyinstaller app that I'm trying to get notarized but it gives me the invalid status as you got.
