Re: [gtk-osx-users] macOS 10.15.x and notarizing

[John Ralls <jralls ceridwen us>]

Tom,

Not as far as I know. 

Microsoft is heading down the same path and DigiCert wants $475 for a certificate 
https://www.digicert.com/code-signing/microsoft-authenticode.htm, though there are cheaper alternatives, 
https://comodosslstore.com/codesigning.aspx costs less than Apple.

Regards,
John Ralls
