Sorry Apple, but I have no intention to pay 100€ per year for the privilege to notarise an application I have up for free on a GitHub repo no matter how shitty you make the process.
At the moment I'm just linking to https://disable-gatekeeper.github.io/ and hoping that if anyone ever comes across my repo, that they know how to read and won't bother me about it. Maybe in the future the optimal solution would be to just not provide any pre-built binaries.
Yeah, this is exactly the problem. Apple doesn't want hobbyist programmers either on iOS or MacOS. They see inconveniencing open source programmers who aren't selling a product (and therefore not going to pay Apple for the right of being an "official developer") as a good thing.
