jpackage and macOS Catalina notarization

[James Elliott]

[Whoops, it seems that this list strips out image attachments, so my first attempt to send this message was pretty useless. Trying again, after uploading the screenshot to my web server so I can link to it instead.]

Ok, thanks for clarifying that, I will drop my expectations for Catalina happiness for the moment, and perhaps can help make things work better when I have some time. Is there a pointer at how one gets vetted for submitting pull requests? Or I could just look at the source and post ideas here if that is better.

For now, here is what a jpackage-created disk image looks like when I open it in Catalina: https://deepsymmetry.org/images/jpackage_dmg_screenshot.png

The command that generates this is:
https://github.com/Deep-Symmetry/beat-link-trigger/blob/master/.github/scripts/build_dmg.zsh#L37-L42 <https://github.com/Deep-Symmetry/beat-link-trigger/blob/master/.github/scripts/build_dmg.zsh#L37-L42>

There are no errors reported during the build

Cheers,

	-James

>> I also notice that the background image and Applications folder alias that are supposed to be in the disk image don?t seem to work in Catalina, so I may give up on having jpackage create my disk images as well, and do that using native tools, until that can be fixed. (I realize it is in early access still, and hope these issues are being worked on.)
