Going forward to be able to pass notarization: APP 1.084 will no longer use Oracle JDK 8. The problem is that Apple simply will not allow applications build with Oracle JDK 8 to be able to pass notarization, why ? That is a question that I can not answer. so the problem is not in our code or our capabilities. So even if we wanted (and we do want this □ ) to provide DMGs that can pass notarization, we can never make it work if we keep using Oracle JDK 8. Now, let me explain why the current DMGs ( 1.083-beta1 and before) will not pass notarization: the explanation is very simple, Apple decided that our development platform Oracle JDK 8 is no longer safe and the whole development platform therefore will no longer pass notarization. All other applications will not respond nicely if you set the Prefer tabs to always. Only applications that are developed with Apple's development platform can behave properly in this regard. To be clear: this is a problem on the Operating System level (not on application level) which I can never fix, because APP is a cross-platform application that is not developed with Apple's development platform for good reason. (This is probably why on some Big Sur installations, APP seems to freeze when the Work Directory selection is being asked -), maybe the MacOS window that is asking this, is not visible/behind the APP main window)
