## Untrusted Application
Currently builds are not signed or notarized, meaning macOS cannot verify
Emacs.app came from a trusted developer, and by default you are not given an
option to trust the app and open it.
Simplest way around this is to right-click (or control-click) on the Emacs app
in Finder and select "Open". You will then be given the same warning as before,
but with a "Open" button now available to trust and open the app. After that you
can open the application like normal without any warnings.
Builds will soon be signed and notarized, progress is tracked in [Issue #1][1].

## Application Signing / Trust
As of June 21st, 2021, all builds are fully signed and notarized. The signing
certificate used is: `Developer ID Application: Jim Myhrberg (5HX66GF82Z)`
To verify the application signature and notarization, you can use `spctl`:
```bash
$ spctl -vvv --assess --type exec /Applications/Emacs.app
/Applications/Emacs.app: accepted
source=Notarized Developer ID
origin=Developer ID Application: Jim Myhrberg (5HX66GF82Z)
```
All builds also come with a SHA256 checksum file, which itself can be double
checked against the SHA256 checksum log output from the packaging step of the
GitHub Actions workflow run which produced the build.
