Apple has announced that it is easing macOS notarization prerequisites for developers until January 2020.

With the release of macOS Catalina, software distributed outside the Mac App Store will need to be notorized by Apple to run. To make this transition easier for users running older software, Apple has adjusted its notarization requirements.

You can now notarize Mac software that:
● Doesn’t have the Hardened Runtime capability enabled.
● Has components not signed with your Developer ID.
● Doesn’t include a secure timestamp with your code-signing signature.
● Was built with an older SDK.
● Includes the com.apple.security.get-task-allow entitlement with the value set to any variation of true.

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