Can I please ask if I have now got this right?

I have built my app with Debug mode in Visual Studio for Mac and I have used my Developer ID profile for signing.

I have added to this profile my colleagues device info.

Is that enough for him to be able to run the app? I ask because previously it would not run on his machine.

I think I have it working. There were a lot of unknown steps. I stumbled on a useful page:

To install on a Mac, you need now to have the app notarized.
