Notarizing Your Mac Software for macOS Catalina
September 3, 2019
As a reminder, Mac software distributed outside the Mac App Store must be notarized by Apple in order to run on macOS Catalina. To make this transition easier and to protect users on macOS Catalina who continue to use older versions of software, we’ve adjusted the notarization prerequisites until January 2020.
SonicWall Mobile Connect™ provides users full network-level access to corporate and academic resources over encrypted SSL VPN connections. The client provides anytime, anywhere access to critical applications such as email, virtual desktop sessions and other macOS applications. Oct 07, 2019 macOS Catalina 10.15 is the latest update to Apple’s popular desktop operating system. It has a number of new features which include new TV, Music, Podcasts, Screen Time, Find My and Reminders.
You can now notarize Mac software that:

Make sure to submit all versions of your software. While Xcode 10 or later is still required to submit, you don’t need to rebuild or re-sign your software before submission.
