Test build for an OmegaT 6.1 macOS Arm notarized version

[Jean-Christophe Helary]

I have just uploaded a test build for an OmegaT 6.1 macOS Arm notarized version (commit a79e540551).
Please, check if:

- the notarization works
- the build properly runs on Arm machines
- the issue related to repeated requests for access rights is gone.

Ok. You mean the plugins/ folder *inside* OmegaT.app, right?

Notarization means that touching anything inside OmegaT.app breaks the notarization process and disallows macOS to run the application.

You’ll need to use the plugins/ folder within the configuration folder.

If *that* does not work, we’ll need to find a fix 😅

Excellent.

Do you think a “Warning” file alongside OmegaT.app in the diskimage would do the trick to inform users?

Besides for updating the user manual, I’m thinking of adding such a file.

Let me know what you think.
