Hi everyone,

I'm developing a macOS app using Tauri 2. I need to test In-App Purchases (IAP), which requires running the actual built .app (it doesn't work properly in the development environment).I tried two approaches:

Apple Development Certificate (free account): After cargo tauri build, the app "Mind Elixir.app" shows this error when I try to open it: “Mind Elixir.app” was not opened because it contains malware. This action did not harm your Mac.

Apple Distribution Certificate: The app builds successfully, but because it is not notarized, Gatekeeper completely blocks it and I cannot open it at all.

I just want to test IAP locally on my own Mac during development. Is there any other way to get a properly signed and runnable .app for testing IAP? Any help or workaround would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
