Godot games and MacOS notarization

SimonTheSorcerer

Hello, I have very little experience on that matter, but I have noticed on game jams that mac exports from godot cannot be opened in recent versions of MacOS, not directly at least. One has to be a paid, registered developer and sign the applications with Apple.

I was wondering if anyone has done this with a game from Godot. Is it doable at all? Is it difficult to do? Could someone easily do it for a steam game as well as game jam games?

There a good thread about this: https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/11984

I hope someone notarizes the export templates (for both regular godot and godotsteam)

While we can sign and notarize the editor (and have done so for 3.2.4), we can't do this for export templates as the notarization will be invalidated as soon as you add data to the application bundle. Third-party modules like GodotSteam will run into the same issue. (Also, if they distribute editor builds, they'll have to sign and notarize them with their own Apple developer account.)
