Hi @richard1,
That’s great that you are able to sign and notarize through Xcode now! There have definitely been changes to how signing is managed with the newer versions, so it is not surprising to hear this.
On that note, could I request that on each update you include details of frameworks and bundles added and removed as it would really help with updating existing projects
This is a very reasonable request. We can definitely do a better job of conveying this information in future releases. 
Thanks!
