As IOhannes wrote, if it was a hiccup in the CI build, then FUD is not required. Next builds will likely return to normal.

For details, an app can be checked for signature and notarization with various tools. I am refreshing myself on this too. ;)

Check signature:

% codesign -vvv ~/Desktop/Pd-0.56-0test1.app
--prepared:/Users/danomatika/Desktop/Pd-0.56-0test1.app/Contents/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/Current/.
--validated:/Users/danomatika/Desktop/Pd-0.56-0test1.app/Contents/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/Current/.
--prepared:/Users/danomatika/Desktop/Pd-0.56-0test1.app/Contents/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/Current/.
--validated:/Users/danomatika/Desktop/Pd-0.56-0test1.app/Contents/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/Current/.
/Users/danomatika/Desktop/Pd-0.56-0test1.app: valid on disk
/Users/danomatika/Desktop/Pd-0.56-0test1.app: satisfies its Designated Requirement

So the build is *signed* ok.

Check notarization:

% stapler validate ~/Desktop/Pd-0.56-0test1.app
Processing: /Users/danomatika/Desktop/Pd-0.56-0test1.app
Pd-0.56-0test1.app does not have a ticket stapled to it.

Hmmm, notarization failed, hence IOhannes' message.

How an app is treated by Gatekeeper in the OS can be checked too:

% spctl -a -vvv ~/Desktop/Pd-0.56-0test1.app
/Users/danomatika/Desktop/Pd-0.56-0test1.app: rejected
source=Unnotarized Developer ID
origin=Developer ID Application: Institut fuer Elektronische Musik und Akustik der Kunstuniversitaet Graz (85W2432JR3)

This show's the same issue: There is a developer account on the signature but the notarization is not there and cannot be verified. I bet the notarization submission process to Apple by the CI failed or worked *but* the return ticket was not stapled to the app.

Yeah, I got this too, and I love that this doesn't happen to Pd, so I hope it doesn't start with the new 0.56-0 final version :)
