Notarization for mac electron application(pkg,dmg) is not happening

[willemdjong]

@reddybhavanish we encountered a similar issue with electron-builder, which uses node-gyp. By overriding the node-gyp version, we were able to resolve our problem with electron-builder. While I can't guarantee this is the exact issue you're facing, you might want to try the same approach. Overriding node-gyp shouldn't break electron-builder, but please note that it will affect all packages that depend on node-gyp.

Exact same issue here ! Signing and notarization have been successful but unidentified developer after downloading and installing the app on mac.

@reddybhavanish it sounds like you are notarizing the application twice with the notarize.js and adding the notarize: { ... } in your electron-builder config. Can you please try using only one approach and write back?

Hey @mmaietta thanks for the reply, i tried as you said and removed "build": {
...
"mac": {
...
"notarize": {
"teamId": "YOUR_TEAM_ID_HERE"
}
}
from the package.json and verified whether the artifact is notarized or not with this command spctl -a -vv "path/to/output-directory/YourAppName.dmg" it showed rejected status, while in the log it showed notarization successful.

Hi,

We've experienced similar issues as mentioned in the previous posts, despite our notarization being successful.

To check the status of our app, we used the following command:

syspolicy_check distribution <AppName.app>

This morning, we discovered problems related to node-gyp and dynamic libraries. Fortunately, the issue has been resolved in a new version of node-gyp. We recommend using node-gyp 10.1.0. Since electron-builder uses an older version, the issue persists.

To fix this, you can override the node-gyp version in your packages by adding the following to your package.json:

"overrides": {
    "node-gyp": "10.1.0"
  }

We hope this resolves the issue for you as well.

Hey @willemdjong , we are not using any such dependency like node-gyp in our project. Do you recommend me using this ? if so what exactly does this do? please throw some light on this.
