Hi,  I am trying to install plugin in InDesign CC 2020 on Catalina Mac OS but due to the security reasons plugin not getting loaded in the InDesign.

 

I have enabled the automatic code signing in xcode and build the plugin. Reference link below -

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/notarizing_your_app_before_distribution

 

Also, I have tried to notarize the plugin zip file using following command and got the email from Apple  that your software has been successfully notarized.

xcrun altool --notarize-app --primary-bundle-id "com.demo.bundle.id" --username "email@abc.com" --password "xxx-x-xxxx-xx" --file Plugin.zip

 

Reference Link: https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=531663

 

I am not sure how do I get the Plugin.zip file from Apple. Can someone help me out with this..? I found smillar issue thread but its not satisfactory to the solution for my issue.

Apple do not return anything from Notarization. Your signed file has a unique ID, in the signature, that Apple have stored. Once notarized, the signed file is accepted if downloaded.
