Introduction

InstallAnywhere 2025 R1

In InstallAnywhere 2025 R1, you can automatically notarize your application with ease.

The process of notarizing your authentication wrappers, your installers, and your uninstallers varies, depending on whether you are performing the notarizing step at build time on the InstallAnywhere build machine or on a separate designated notarization machine.

You can specify whether and how you want InstallAnywhere to notarize your OS X–based installer at build time. If you notarize the installer, end users can download your installer from outside the App Store and install the product without being blocked by the Gatekeeper. The settings in this area are:

•

Notarize the Generated Installer

•

Developer Username

•

Developer App Specific Password

•

Notarization Response Timeout (min)
