Hi, I am going to presume that Simon is already aware of this, but there is a page on the Apple Dev site that describes the workflow that can be implemented/customized to automate the notarization process via scripting:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/notarizing_your_app_before_distribution/customizing_the_notarization_workflow Whether this can be done efficiently to support the nightly builds via the current build system would be the question. Also, with nightly builds, there is a risk of the notarization process introducing delays, as just happened: https://www.macrumors.com/2019/10/10/apple-macos-catalina-app-notarization-slow/ Regards, Marc Schwartz > On Oct 11, 2019, at 4:25 PM, Dr Eberhard W Lisse <e...@lisse.na> wrote: > > You could always issue > > sudo spctl --master-disable > > :-)-O > > el > > On 2019-10-11 19:59 , Kevin Ushey wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I'm seeing the following when I attempt to install R-patched, as from >> http://mac.r-project.org/: >> >> --- >> >> “R-3.6-branch-el-capitan-signed.pkg” can’t be opened because Apple >> cannot check it for malicious software. >> >> This software needs to be updated.
