I have multiple submissions for an app notarization. The goal is to distribute the DMG on my website rather than the app store (which I also have a submission in review for). These are the notarization logs:

The earliest of which occured more than 18 hours ago.

This is my first time submitting an app for notarization. I also have a developer account that was created ~1-2 days ago.

From what I've read online, notarization usually occurs in less than 10 minutes.

When querying for the logs, it juts says that the submission ID is invalid or the logs aren't available yet.

Submission log is not yet available or submissionId does not exist

You can expect that most uploads will be notarised quickly. Occasionally, some uploads are held for in-depth analysis and may take longer to complete. As you notarise your apps, the system will learn how to recognise them, and you should see fewer delays.

Another project – minimal changes to the executables –and it's taking over an hour with the end nowhere in sight. The system is supposed to have already learned how to recognize the app as we've had countless builds done in the past year.

I'm also facing the same issue. My app has been notarized many many times and I just made one single line change and it keeps on getting stuck today.
