In macOS Catalina Apple introduced “notarization”, i.e. anything you
install has to have Apple's blessing, otherwise it will refuse to
install and show you a message that it is malware. Dick Koch,
maintainer of MacTeX ran into the same problems, as he presented at
TUG2019 and described in the corresponding TUGboat article:

sounds like a lot of work ... now, with these nicely signed binaries,
what about tex (or even lua code) ... in principle each of the
additional files (with macros) should be tested too because they're
basically programs themselves
(my ancient macbook os not updatable so i can't test it anyway, can't
even run tex on it any more i think, so i'm forever protected against tex)
