for others to download and run your mac app, you have to run a command line tool that sends your binary to apple and waits for a real human being to look around the .app and make sure everything looks good before signing off on it. only then the command on your build machine returns success. this means that a CI build job could take many hours or even days, weeks. 🤯

Must you have it in the App Store? If you don’t, this can be a faster process. But signing is good to keep bad actors out of Mac’s

nope. this is for any executable, even if you don't distribute it via the app store.

i presume you already paid the $99 for a developer account. next up is developer id app cert, so i'm guessing after compile/sign, you're stuck at the notarisation of app? this should in theory take less than 15 minutes?
