      @Lindon what do you call assigned plugin id? so precisely if it works on logic it will work everywhere ^^ I came back to the pkg problem. it is not possible for me to affix the certificate. it tells me that it cannot be used to sign a package or distribution because there is no associated private key. this story of notarization sincerely is really a crazy thing

        Try this out:

        Hise Export plugins > Sign plugins > Build installer > Sign installer > Notarize installer > Time stamp installer.

        If this doesn't fix, I recommend you to hire a mobile notary public. They can fix your issue in no time.

            Hello there, I've written a blog post on notary services, and I'd love it if you could all share your views on it.

              @joshfreeman You've either misunderstood what this thread is about or the bots are getting a little more sneaky.

                Just another tidbit for those lay-people like me — I recently discovered this third-party app while trying to learn about notarization: DMG Canvas

                It's a WYSIWYG builder that automatically notarizes and staples your installer using your Apple ID when you build the DMG file. Super clean!

                Quick 1 year later followup, are you still using this one for all your code signing and notarising?

                  @iamlamprey Yup! It's a cool little app and I feel like it makes your installer look more legitimate.

                    So can I use the same notarization process if not using an installer?

                    Codesign VST/AU
                    ZIP Contents (VST/AU/HR1/etc)
                    Codesign ZIP
                    Notarize ZIP

                    Is this correct or must you use an installer?

                          @d-healey I just figured it would make delivery easier if all files were included in one download, no?

                              @orange So I found this code for zip files

                              xcrun altool --notarize-app --primary-bundle-id "com.company.vst.plugin" --username "USERNAME" --password "PASSWORD" --asc-provider "SHORT_PROVIDER_NAME" --file plugin.zip
                              

                              I know the Primary Bundle ID is. As for USERNAME and PASSWORD, is my Apple Developer signin? Is PASSWORD the App Specific Password?

                              And I am unsure what SHORT_PROVIDER_NAME is referring too.

                                @d-healey What do you recommend keeping download sizes too? Do you recommend keeping hr1 files the default 500mb or do you increase?

                                    @orange So I have tried the notarization with my AppleID/Developer Username (my email) and with both My password and the generated App Specific Password with no luck.

                                    I also removed the SHORT_PROVIDER_NAME as when I was reading through the thread, there was mention its unnecessary if you're only associated with one entity with Apple.

                                    Here is the code I used and error I received.

                                    xcrun altool --notarize-app --primary-bundle-id "com.website.plugin" --username “my email” --password “my password“ "/Users/mymac/Plugin.zip"

                                      @trillbilly I've used installers only, never used the .zip files for the plugin distribution. Are you sure about the folder path of the .zip file?

                                      Also, I think the code you tried is for individual zip packages. For example, put a vst in a single zip file. then put .component file to another zip file... etc.

                                      Why don't you use Packages Installer instead? It's pretty straightforward, easier, and a much professional way for the user experience.

                                      I strongly suggest using Whitebox Packages for this purpose, after downloading and installing it (it's free), take a look at this PACKAGES TEMPLATE PROJECT that 've made earlier. It's an installer project with all of the plugin formats.

                                        @orange Id like to eventually have installers but am terrified to even begin. Whitebox looks like it only does Mac Installers, yes? What about Windows?

                                          What about Windows?

                                          InnoSetup.

                                          I made an app that does all this for you (including codesigning and notarizing), it's available on my Patreon page. I haven't tested it with recent versions of HISE but I think it should still work. It has a few bugs which I haven't found the time to fix yet, but will get to it eventually :)
