Sorry, I thought you meant building a macOS app to deploy to other 
people rather than for your own use on your own computer. Gatekeeper 
will throw a ton of obstacles and warnings for any app not signed and 
notarized that you download and try to install on Catalina or Big Sur. 
Technically, there is probably some way to instruct people how to 
circumvent Gatekeeper objections.
