Two months? So Catalina will start breaking apps for average users after only two months? It hardly seems worth it for Apple to have that short of a delay.
- galad87 7y agoNothing will break. Apps signed before will continue to work like before, apps signed now will required to be notarized. Unsigned apps will work like before.
- WaltPurvis 7y agoI was just going by what the person I was replying to (who wasn't you) was saying. If, as that person said, apps will break (or appear to break to average users) once "hardening" kicks in, then delaying it by a mere two months seems almost pointless. On the other hand, if as you say nothing will break, then a two-month delay in hardening seems equally pointless.
- saagarjha 7y agoApps that you currently have will not break, as they will not be quarantined. The requirement helps developers of apps that will be downloaded in the future.
