Not sure what is the required steps to get rid of this.
Do we need to publish via Mac App store or change any certificate or build process? @saagarjha

And found an article about this, is this help? @alemputes

I would recommend to publish it to the app store as this will get you more exposure and users will feel more safe using it. Even thought there might me workarounds to install Swimat, many users may not go thru that trouble to find a solution for it and the warning that pops up could also scare some.

I think this is more a problem with "this Mac can't connect to Apple's servers to verify notarization" and less "we are signing Swimat incorrectly".

Getting Swimat on the App Store is possible and maybe even desirable, but it would require a bit of work. At the very least, the command line tool would need changes due to sandboxing requirements.
