It appears that safari web extensions can only go through the app store. In order to distribute it outside, is it sufficient to use a valid Developer ID cert or does it need to be notarized? I understand that users would have to click Allow Unsigned Extensions. Do they have to do this every single time even if a valid cert is used to sign the app?

Here's a forum post with a reply for an Apple employee: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/659029

In my experience, the user has to click "Allow Unsigned Extensions" every time they open Safari.

Also in my experience, distributing web extensions this way is far from optimal.
