Bwa! So my notarization drama is not what I expected.
So when you download an executable file on Mac, it gets "quarantined" and you can't run it directly because it might be dangerous. Bleh. A couple years ago they removed the user option to disable this, and now devs you have to notarize every build instead. Extra bleh.
BUT! Even notarized apps get quarantined _until the user moves the .app bundle manually_ to indicate they trust it's safe. WTF?!
Man, I used to really like OS X...
