Get notarization log
The notary log is a key tool for debugging notarization and trusted execution issues. Check the notarization logs for information on why notarization failed, to check for warnings, and to confirm that all your code was included in the notarized ticket.
Nota
Notarization logs are only available in notarytool. Always check the log file, even if notarization succeeds, because it might contain warnings that you can fix prior to your next submission.
Command
To get the notarization log from Notarization Server, use the command:
smctl-mac-x64 notarization log --tool <notarytool or altool> <NotaryServer notarization ID or Software Trust Manager submission ID> --profile-name notarytool_user -v
Command sample:
smctl-mac-x64 notarization log --tool notarytool 5cb03d00-8ab1-4fdc-bb0a-f4167dc01f03 --profile-name notarytool_user -v
