R 3.6.2 installer / Catalina / Notarization

While easily remedied via right-click + open, out-of-the-box installer gives the Apple daft (and technically incorrect since Apple could most certainly check it for malicious software):

    ?R-3.6.2.pkg? can?t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.

message.


Here's what spctl returns:

    $ spctl -a -vv -t install R-3.6.2.pkg
    R-3.6.2.pkg: rejected
    source=Unnotarized Developer ID
    origin=Developer ID Installer: Simon Urbanek (VZLD955F6P)


NOTE: R & R.app work fine once installed.

Not sure if this is going to cause consternation in "corporate" environments.

Bob,

thanks - oddly, it didn't show when I tested it on Catalina, there must be a flag somewhere. As discussed before we cannot notarize any version of R before 4.0.0 so Catalina users have to either stick to 3.5.1 (since Apple has grand-fathered installers create before Catalina) or use the Ctrl+click way to install R 3.6.2.

Cheers,
Simon

Is this on the CRAN page?  Am I missing something?

Thanks,

3.6.2 was released on the 12th and it's been on all the CRAN mirrors I, er, "monitor", including the cran.r-project.org site (https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/R-3.6.2.pkg).
#
Yes but I don't see the installer on the CRAN site, I only see the installer for 3.6.1.  Am I missing something?  Not a complaint,  just don't see it?  I did clear my caches.

Thanks,

-Roy

It's definitely showing for me on https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/

If in doubt you can always use the master Mac CRAN site:

$!$!$$$@!+!.  

So I went there,  still saw old version.  Cleared cache,  went again,  still saw old version.  Cleared cache again,  went there,  saw new version.  Grrr.  The kind of small things that drive me nuts.

Thanks,

-Roy
