This page has information about Mac App Store delivery requirements.
If you want to distribute your application to the Mac App Store, then the upload process includes a similar content validation to notarization, which means that you don’t have to notarize your application. However, when you build your macOS application, the Mac App Store has additional requirements.
Before you build your application, enable the Mac App Store Validation property. To do this:
Enabling the Mac App Store Validation option means that your application only runs when it holds a valid receipt from the Mac App Store. It prevents people from running the application on a different computer than the one they purchased.
To distribute your application via the Mac App Store, Apple requires you to use one of the following signing identities when you code sign your application:
Signing Identity | Format |
---|---|
Mac App Distribution | 3rd Party Mac Developer Application: TTT |
Apple Distribution | Apple Distribution: TTT |
Note: Replace TTT
with your team identity.
For information on how to submit your application to the Mac App Store, refer to the Submit and promote section in Submitting apps to the Mac App Store.
