Adobe says that Animate works with the latest Mac OS. When I publish apps with Animate, they work on my computer. With a self-signed certificate, they work on some older Mac OS versions, but not on the 2 most recent.
How can I test my apps on others' Mac computers?

By default, macOS runs apps from two sources:
-
The Mac App Store
-
Directly distributed apps
In the second case, the app must notarised in order to pass Gatekeeper. You can find a bunch of info about this in my Trusted Execution Resources post, and the other posts that it links to.
Many third-party developer tools have facilities that make it easy to sign and notarise code. I recommend that you ask your vendor if that’s the case here.

If your goal is to test your app on a small number of Macs where the owners trust you implicitly, you can bypass Gatekeeper. There’s a link to the Apple Support article that explains how to do this in the post I referenced above. However, if you want to distribute your app widely then you need to sign and notarise it.
