# The macOS app is now notarised
|
|
|
|
From version 1.5, the macOS application will now be notarised. It means that when you install it you will no longer see a warning telling you that the app hasn't been checked for malware. You also won't need to go in the OS security settings to launch the app.
|
|
|
|
Notarisation has been around since macOS Catalina, however it took a while to implement it for Joplin as the process is complex and error prone.
|
|
|
|
First the app has to be built and uploaded to Apple's servers. They then automatically check the app for any malware, a process that can take 5 to 15 minutes (and presumably more if the app is incorrectly flagged as malware). Once it's done, Apple creates a notarisation ticket for the app.
|
|
|
|
Then whenever the app is started, Apple check on their server if the app has a notarisation ticket (a process that recently caused "[apps taking minutes to launch, stuttering and non-responsiveness throughout macOS](https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/11/macos-big-sur-launch-appears-to-cause-temporary-slowdown-in-even-non-big-sur-macs/)"). It's also possible to staple this notarisation ticket to the app, so that it's possible to check the ticket even when the computer is offline.

|
All that has now been automated in the Joplin build pipeline, and will apply to all macOS app future versions. |
