Fsnotes: New install on Catalina fails to open (possibly due o notarization)

[pslobo]

Describe the bug
After installing a new version of FSNotes (or updating an existing working version), we are greeted with the following "error" message.

This is possibly due to issues with notarization, however I was under the impression that was already solved for Mojave.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install FSNotes via brew cask install fsnotes (or download via github release)
2. Open FSNotes normally (not using any of the workarounds)

Expected behavior
FSNotes should open normally.

Actual behavior
Mac OS displays the above error and we are forced to open the app via known workarounds

Workaround
Right click on FSNotes and choose open or go to System Preferences > Security and allow execution

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: macOS
• OS version: 10.15.2
• FSNotes version: 4.0.14 (also happens on 4.0.13 and 4.0.12)

Additional Notes

If needed, for troubleshooting, I have another machine where FSNotes hasn't been updated and is working as expected (was upgraded from Mojave to Catalina with FSNotes already installed and working)

Could it be that only the Mac App Store version has been notarised and the interim releases are not notarised? Does notarisation need to be done with every release?

[pslobo]

Not entirely sure how the notarisation works, but I'm under the impression that each new version is notarised and it probably part of the build process.

[glushchenko]

I don't know why this going on. Every release notarized already.

Dear Oleksandr,
Your Mac software has been notarized. You can now export this software and distribute it directly to users.
Bundle Identifier: co.fluder.FSNotes

Very weird indeed!

This is what I see on the other Mac which has been updated to catalina, but I still haven't updated FSNotes:

~ % brew cask info fsnotes
fsnotes: 4.0.12
https://fsnot.es/
/usr/local/Caskroom/fsnotes/4.0.12 (121B)
From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/master/Casks/fsnotes.rb
==> Name
FSNotes
==> Artifacts
FSNotes.app (App)
~ % spctl -v -a /Applications/FSNotes.app
/Applications/FSNotes.app: accepted
source=Notarized Developer ID

I'm pretty sure that as soon as I update this version, I'll hit the same issue there too.

[glushchenko]

Please re-download 4.0.15

[pslobo]

Yep, that fixed it!

λ brew cask info fsnotes
fsnotes: 4.0.15

Please re-download 4.0.15

What was the problem @glushchenko ?

[glushchenko]

@gingerbeardman i incorrectly exported build from xcode :-)
