LiveCode 9xx is supported on macOS Maveriks (10.9) and up
Catalina (10.15) requires Notarized DMG or App to be allowed to open/run
I have discovered that a Notarized and Stapled DMG works on Catalina
and Mojave (10.14), but presents an error when trying to open on El
Capitan (10.11).
Does anyone have a definitive list of macOS versions from 10.9 and up
by signed - notarized - stapled and what works so I don't have to
develop one myself? I can not find thi at Apple. 10.12 is min OS to
"staple" on and 10.13 the min to notarize, but that is form a building
it, rather than using it.
So far I have: [Signed is "code signed only")
OS Signed Notarized Stapled
10.9 Works Untested Fails
10.10
10.11
10.12
10.13
10.14 Works Works Works
10.15 Fails Works Works
All blanks are untested.
Here are the results for anyone interested:
macOS name signed notarized stapled
10.9 Mavricks OK FAIL FAIL
10.10 Yosemite OK FAIL FAIL
10.11 El Capitan OK FAIL FAIL
10.12 Sierra OK OK OK
10.13 High Sierra OK OK OK
10.14 Mojave OK OK OK
10.15 Catalina * OK OK
* A signed DMG opens, but any Apps in the DMG present a the notice that
Apple can't validate the security of the app. A Notarized or Notarized
and Staples DMG can be opened and any Signed apps (but the Apps
themselves do not need to be Notarized) can be opened from within the DMG
What this means for anyone distributing macOS apps outside the MacApp
store is that you probably need to offer 2 different DNG downloads for
macOS users:
a signed (or even unsigned DMG (with your signed App in it) for 10-9
through 10.11
and
a signed, notarized, (and optionally stapled), DMG with your code signed
app in it for 10.12 through 10.15
OR you could do the 1st for 10.9 through 10.14 and just a separate one
for 10.15.
