<pre>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 <a href="https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=06032019i">https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=06032019i</a> and
<a href="https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/notarizing_your_app_before_distribution">https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/notarizing_your_app_before_distribution</a>
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.</pre>
