| Use [Apple's developer documentation](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/notarizing_macos_software_before_distribution) to sign and notarize the app native binaries. .NET creates a native *apphost* executable as the entry point for your app. This apphost must be signed and, if your app uses special capabilities, it must be assigned the appropriate **entitlements**. | ||
