>>> As far as I can tell, applications do not need to be built via Xcode, but need to be screened and Notarized by Apple. I'm not 100% certain if this applies only to applications signed by a Developer ID or for *all* applications. Regardless of whether we approve of this security step or not (I don't), the practical matter is that Pd *may* suddenly not run for users on 10.15 as it is not notarized or signed. OTOH software that is not signed and is installed "from the wild" *may* still be launched via Right Click -> Open on first run... although I'm not sure.

>>> Apple has made the Notarization requirement optional until January 2020 to ease the transition.

>>> At this point, it would be helpful to hear from someone who has the new OS if Pd runs and if there are any warning dialogs.

>>> In the worst case, we will need an Apple developer account ($100 a year) to signed Pd for distribution and notarization. This also requires using the Xcode 10+ developer tools which rules out Miller's 10.6 build system for this step. it could be integrated as a makefile step. I have a dev account and can do some testing, when needed.
