macOS Mojave has several features that tighten security, including an improved Gatekeeper feature that enforces code signing and verifies downloaded apps before allowing them to run. Today, Apple issued a reminder to developers to get their Mac software notarized so customers have increased confidence that it’s not known malware.
Improving user security
According to a post over at Apple’s Dev Center portal for registered developers:
In celebration of the Black Friday shopping holiday in the United States, many iOS and Mac app developers are offering discounts on their apps. We've rounded up a selection of the best deals below. A simple Mac app designed to make uploading images and screenshots to Imgur quick and effortless, as recommended by someone on Reddit. The application will listen for new screenshots taken by the built-in screenshot functionality of OS X.
Whether you’re a developer looking to test apps or you’re a casual user looking to play some games, you will certainly find the best emulator for your need. If you ask me personally, I’m torn between MEmu and Remix OS Player. The version control feature included in the IDE is especially useful for people working in large development environments, as is the developer collaboration features. If you write Java and webpages this is a great tool.

macOS Mojave is here. Give Mac users even more confidence in your software distributed outside the Mac App Store by submitting it to Apple to be notarized. When users on macOS Mojave first open a notarized app, installer package or disk image, they’ll see a more streamlined Gatekeeper dialog and have confidence that it is not known malware.
As Apple states, launching a notarized app for the first time puts up a more personalized Gatekeeper dialog than before with a bit less scary message (you can see a user-friendlier prompt top of post).

However, Gatekeeper will soon enforce app notarization.
As Apple post states, Gatekeeper in “an upcoming release of macOS” will require that all Mac apps signed with Developer ID to be notarized by the company.
Gatekeeper helps secure your Mac and augments Quarantine, a feature designed to ensure your computer is receiving updates about new malware and compromised web plug-ins.
