I'm having issues with notarizing my Electron app using electron-builder. The build process works, but notarization gets hung up on submitting to Apple.

Versions

electron: 33.2.1
electron-builder: 24.9.1
@electron/notarize: 2.3.2
macOS runner: macos-latest

Current Setup

Using GitHub Actions for CI/CD
Developer ID Application certificate is properly installed and verified
Apple ID credentials are confirmed working (verified via altool)
Notarization is configured in both package.json and build arguments

This is the farthest I've been able to get after pushing through many errors.. I set a timeout of 3 hours and this will now be my 4th time attempting I believe.

Configuration

package.json

json "mac": { "hardenedRuntime": true, "gatekeeperAssess": false, "entitlements": "build/entitlements.mac.plist", "entitlementsInherit": "build/entitlements.mac.plist", "notarize": { "teamId": "APPLE_TEAM_ID WAS MANUALLY PUT HERE AFTER ISSUES WITH SECRETS" } }

GitHub Actions Workflow

Using samuelmeuli/action-electron-builder@v1 with proper environment variables for APPLE_ID, APPLE_TEAM_ID, and APPLE_APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD.

What I've Tried

Verified Apple Developer account access and Team ID
Confirmed certificate installation works
Tested credentials using altool (successfully lists providers)
Added explicit notarization environment variables

Any help would be appreciated!
