From what I can gather, notarization is in effect right now, and it's only the notarizaition steps that have been relaxed until Jabuary 2020 i.e apps need to be notarized now in order to be installed without Gatekeeper intervention.
I can currently use the Adobe Air Application Installer (which is notarized) to run my .air file, that installs my application (which is not notarized). My application runs perfectly fine first go, with no Gatekeeper intervention.
Does anyone know if an application that is installed by using Adobe Air Application Installer needs to be notarized on macOs Catalina? And if so, why is my non-notarized app working without notarization, or being presented with Gatekeeper messages?
