Apple requires notarization for all macOS apps

macOS apps must be scanned and signed by Apple before being distributed

Developers must now submit their apps to Apple for review

Apple has announced that all macOS apps must now be notarized before they can be distributed. This means that developers must submit their apps to Apple for review and approval.

The new requirement is designed to improve the security of macOS apps. By scanning and signing apps, Apple can help to ensure that they are safe to use and do not contain any malicious code.

Developers can notarize their apps through the Apple Developer portal. The process is simple and typically takes a few hours.

The new notarization requirement is a positive step for the security of macOS apps. It will help to protect users from malicious code and make it more difficult for developers to distribute unsafe apps.
