Notarize releases so a download opens without a warning - #20

Gatekeeper refused to open the v0.1.0 DMG after download because it was signed with an Apple Development certificate. An unsigned image mounts and shows the installer window; the app inside keeps its signature. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A notarized, stapled DMG opens after download without a Gatekeeper warning, so the installer drops the Open Anyway hint. The app is signed with the hardened runtime notarization needs. Publishing refuses anything but Developer ID. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The v0.1.0 DMG would not open after download. Gatekeeper said it could not verify the image was free of malware, because the DMG was signed with an Apple Development certificate.
What changed
release.shsigns the app and the DMG with Developer ID by default (Developer ID Application: Emir Amanbekov (ZZ2G9658MN)). It then notarizes the DMG with thehyperpointnotarytool keychain profile, staples it and checks it withspctl.--publishrefuses anything but a Developer ID build, so an un-notarized DMG cannot reach a release again.build-app.shsigns with the hardened runtime, which notarization requires.SIGN_TIMESTAMP=1adds the secure timestamp. Hyperpoint needs no entitlements under it: it only spawns/usr/bin/hidutiland usesSMAppService.Before the next release
xcrun notarytool store-credentials hyperpoint --apple-id <apple-id> --team-id ZZ2G9658MNwith an app-specific password.Verification

The CI ad-hoc path still builds.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
