• Electron-Builder Version: 24.9.1

• Node Version: 20.11.0

• Electron Version: 28.2.2
• Electron Type (current, beta, nightly): current

• Target: mac - dmg/universal, zip/universal

When setting the following env variables:

And setting notarize to true:

Notarizing silently fails in electron-builder:

I would expect to see one of the following messages

skipped macOS notarization - notarize options were not provided
or
Env vars APPLE_API_KEY, APPLE_API_KEY_ID and APPLE_API_ISSUER need to be set
or
"notarization successful"

None appear.

Can you please try without setting notarize: true, electron-builder should automatically detect based on the env vars being set. Would appreciate if you also tried this with next version v24.12.0

Removed notarize: true from package.json and received the following warning:

Same behaviour on both v24.9.1 and v24.12.0

Can confirm the App Store Connect env vars are present in the environment:

echo ${APPLE_API_KEY} returns the full path to the .p8 file which contains a valid PRIVATE KEY.
echo ${APPLE_API_KEY_ID} returns the the 10 character key ID.
echo ${APPLE_API_ISSUER} returns the issuer UUID.
