(rest snipped to fit within character limitations)

I am experiencing the exact same issue. Thanks for posting here — at least it feels a little better knowing it's not just me.

I also saw this behaviour in Xcode 15.0 Beta 8, but not one of the much earlier betas. Just trying Beta 7 now.

Is there any kind of work-around?

Unfortunately I can't remember which previous beta I used which successfully notarised; now I'm wondering if I imagined it and my last notarisation was in Xcode 14.

I have just spent the afternoon trying every successive earlier version back to beta 1 and all exhibit the same issue. I then went to 14.3.1 and it also failed! But at least it gave an obscure error, which led me to this.

So I went to https://developer.apple.com/account and found a message: "The program license agreement has been updated." I clicked accept, and tada... now it notarises just fine, even in 15.0.0 RC.

How utterly infuriating. Apple, where do I send the bill for an hour of my time? Ha.

I had this happen with the release version, with all agreements agreed. I got it fixed after changing version from "1.0.0-RC1" to "1.0.1", and upping build version by 1.
