Notarizing Your Mac Software for macOS Catalina
Apple doesn't require a paid developer account to do this, and it's also not actually required. A user can still click "Open" from the right-click menu on a newly downloaded app to open it for the first time, and then double click the app to open it subsequent times like normal.This is Apple's official line, but no one is going to actually have to do anything different if they don't want to. Some not-so-tech-savvy users might end up with apps they don't understand how to open after downloading them, but those are also the user most susceptible to falling for malicious downloads, so I'd call it a pretty good security feature.Anyway, were any of you who are complaining in this thread planning on actually publishing an app for macOS, or just here to beat a dead horse?
