SIGNED. NOTARIZED. READY TO BUILD.

A verified origin for your toolkit.

Catalyst’s macOS binaries, shared libraries, and frameworks are digitally signed with Magister, LLC’s Apple Developer ID distribution certificates. Each macOS release is notarized through Apple’s official security process before publication.

These signatures identify Magister, LLC as the publisher. They are separate from your Catalyst license: the framework does not use your license to track activity or perform network authentication.
