The whole macOS Catalina app notarization requirement is a complete joke. I've had to deal with macOS related stupidity for Dolphin's build infra for the past 8 years, but I think this might finally be the last straw.

The state of the art for integrating notarization into CI seems to be "oh just run that XCode tool in a loop until it says Apple has accepted your binary -- oh and btw its output is not designed to be machine-parseable lol".

"After uploading your app, the notarization process typically takes less than an hour. When the process completes, you receive an email indicating the outcome." Oh cool let me add an IMAP client into my Buildbot I guess!

Someone asked me for another example of macOS CI related stupidity. Let's start with the obvious one: I have to violate Apple's EULA to run my CI on macOS without hosting a physical Mac somewhere. No VMs! In 2019. Or the $100/y to be allowed the privilege to develop for macOS.

Replying to @delroth_
i am probably in the market for a new phone Soon and i will probably end up choosing Android because of how much of a pain in the ass it is to write yourself a simple app on iOS

this oddly was not a thing i cared about when i was a Google employee since Google claimed ownership on any app i'd write anyways and thus i wasn't likely to write any while employed there

Just work on emulators, Google find them too radioactive to keep copyright on so we're all forced to go through IARC :-)
