Lately Apple seems slower to respond to accept the upload through SD Notary. During peak times I get errors in SD Notary before Apple Responds an obvious time-out. However when I “Fetch history” all shows accepted. Is there a way you can either increase the timeout waiting for response from apple or help figure out how to prevent this? My Enhanced Applet can be sizable at times? Any advice is appreciated.
The timeout is set to 1800 seconds. That should be plenty – when it takes longer than that, it’s usually a problem at Apple’s end that can take any amount of time to fix.
That said, you can change the default value using defaults in Terminal. The key to use is prefSubmitTimeout and the value should be in seconds.
It stops responding after 5-6 mins. I’ve never seen it wait that long. I’ll see what setting is.
That sounds like something drastic has gone wrong. SD Notary uses the prefSubmitTimeout value along to notarytool. According to its documentation:
[–timeout duration]
notarytool will exit after polling for duration. The Notary service will continue processing the
submission even if the timeout is reached.
Agreed. It happens to me enough to be an annoyance during assumed peak submission times later in the day. It happens after signing, uploading and while Awaiting result from Apple… appears in the Log.
