Since macOS 10.15 (Catalina), Apple enforces  Notarization  for all software distributed outside the Mac App Store. If you aren't stapling a notarization ticket to your DMG or ZIP, your app is effectively dead on arrival. Automating this in a headless CI/CD environment (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI) is notoriously brittle due to Apple ID 2FA requirements. This guide implements a robust, stateless solution using App Store Connect API Keys and  notarytool , bypassing legacy app-specific passwords entirely. The Root Cause: Gatekeeper & Notarytool Under the hood, macOS Gatekeeper performs a quarantine check on download...
