Notarizing Thousands of Apps

Hi All,


we have a Mac App that has user specific content embedded in it. This can lead to us creating and distributing thousands of slightly different builds over the span of a few hours. Does someone know, if there is an upper limit to the number of apps one can notarize in a short timespan?

I found one issue in that the Transporter seems to key off the bundle signature and only allows one upload at a time - maybe per account.


We have two app variants that share the bundle ID, they have to be processed sequentially.

Why are you doing that? In general, having two apps with the same bundle ID is a very bad idea.

What’s preventing you from separating out that user-specific slight difference out from the application bundle? That way you could notarize just one application bundle for all users.
