            Bug ID: 126409
           Summary: LibreOffice does not launch normally on macOS 10.15
                    Catalina beta
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.5.1 rc
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Installation
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

macOS 10.15 "Catalina", now in Public Beta, requires apps to not only have a
developer certificate signature, but to have that signature "notarized" by
Apple.  See https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=06032019i and
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/notarizing_your_app_before_distribution
for more details.

While users may run LibreOffice on 10.15 by right-clicking the app icon and
choosing "Open" (the classic way to bypass Gatekeeper in macOS), this is not
immediately obvious, and the ominous alert Apple gives ("LibreOffice can’t be
opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.") may scare some
users off.

While it is true that this is a bug for a beta OS, macOS 10.15 is expected to
arrive in "Fall 2019", which isn't too far away.
