Hi there, My app detects connected BlackMagic devices on a user's machine and this is done using the DeckLink SDK which first tries to load /Library/Frameworks/DeckLinkAPI.framework using CFBundleCreate. I have not been able to create a notarized app which successfully detects the devices. Either the DeckLinkAPI works or the app starts up without showing "the developer cannot be verified" on my test computer but never both. This is what I've tried so far: signed app: DeckLinkAPI available hardened runtime: DeckLinkAPI not available hardened runtime + com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation: DeckLinkAPI available, notarization succeeds yet the "the developer cannot be verified" I've also tried to use weak linking to DeckLinkAPI.framework instead of including the SDK's CFBundleCreate code but that made no difference: I still needed the com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation entitlement for that to work which caused "the developer cannot be verified". DeckLinkAPI.framework is notarized: > codesign --test-requirement="=notarized" --verify --verbose /Library/Frameworks/DeckLinkAPI.framework /Library/Frameworks/DeckLinkAPI.framework: valid on disk /Library/Frameworks/DeckLinkAPI.framework: satisfies its Designated Requirement /Library/Frameworks/DeckLinkAPI.framework: explicit requirement satisfied Is there any way to successfully notarize an app to use the DeckLink SDK or any other thirdparty notarized framework which is distributed seperately?
