Thank you for building this. The notarization process is navigable but baroque, especially from the command line.

fish shell's notarization script: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/blob/master/build_t...

It was surprising that they didn't provide an all-in-one blocking command, leaving everyone to write their own version of the submit(); while(true) { poll(); }.

I will need to add support for .pkg to cover more use cases. (Right now the tool specifically checks the input to be an .app bundle and zips it up for submission.)

Strange that it’s written in Bash!

This is necessary for building fish. If we wrote it in fish script, we'd run into the bootstrapping problem, where you'd need fish to build fish.
