Hi, Assuming the update centre is distributed securely, you can probably just mark the update centre itself as trusted in the registration, and ignore code signing if you want. Like at https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/master/nb/updatecenters/src/org/netbeans/modules/updatecenters/resources

Hi, NetBeans uses NBPackage to build its PKG installer (not a DMG). This signs all natives, as well as deep signing and repackaging all macOS natives inside JAR files. See eg. https://github.com/apache/netbeans-nbpackage/blob/master/src/main/java/org/apache/netbeans/nbpackage/macos/AppBundleTask.
