We don't need a Player (was Re: New(?) Idea for Standalones)

[J. Landman Gay]

Cool. Thanks. I do keep NotarizationHelper in my plugins folder since I use it frequently.

I probably will continue with the manual method for a while though, since I have three 
different apps to notarize and I have to update the General settings each time. Maybe later 
I'll revise your script to fill in the data for me.

What I did not realize until I wasted a lot of time today is that the ASC changes depending on 
the app password, the ID Application, or something else I can't identify. It kept telling me I 
wasn't a member of my own developer account. I finally ran the Terminal command that returns 
all the ASCs and my ASC was different than it was before.

People who are a member of only one account won't have that problem, but it took me a long time 
to figure out what was wrong. Once I had the right ASC your helper did its work gracefully.

You can find it at this LC lesson, which includes all the manual steps if you want to do it that way, but at the bottom describes his automated tool as well. You can download the stack from the link at the top of the lesson.
