> Can you distribute a native application on macOS without Apple's blessing? No, you can't. I've been running the Catalina betas, and running non-notarized apps only requires right clicking instead of double clicking. If that's too much of an obstacle for you, you probably shouldn't run the app. Gatekeeper on macOS is a technology designed to protect careless users. It makes it slightly harder to shoot yourself in the foot. It doesn't prevent you from doing it, though.
