Hello,
We are currently struggling to get V-Ray notarized.
Our developer Nikolay Denev has some questions that were asked by e-mail, but we haven't got a response yet.
I'm relaying his questions here:
Do we need to create an application bundle for our executable file(vray) to be able to notarize it?
When I created an application bundle with the executable file(vray) and the libraries on which it depends I managed to notarize it. The problem is that the executable is not a GUI application and when its application bundle is double clicked nothing happens.
I have tried to notarize vray without application bundle and the libraries on which it depends using @loader_path or executable_path or @rpath to load libraries and all attempts failed. Everything including the notary log says that the executable and the libraries have been notarized successfully, but when I run the executable a popup window shows telling me "vray cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.".
I think that the problem comes from the Load commands in the executable. Other executables which depend only on system libraries are notarizing fine without an application bundle. Do I need an application bundle to be able to load unsigned libraries created by third party developers? When I use the application bundle and enable the entitlement com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation it it possible. I am also using com.apple.security.cs.allow-dyld-environment-variables to enable loading libraries using @rpath and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH when I use the application bundle.
The most important question is why I can not notarize vray without using application bundle?
We would appreciate it if you can introduce us to someone who can answer these questions.
Best regards,
Mihail Djurev
