**Description**  
Hi, I’m recently having issues notarizing my Electron app that uses the Zoom SDK. I’m receiving this error “The binary is not signed with a valid Developer ID certificate.” referring to Contents/Plugins/ZoomAudioDevice.kext/Contents/MacOS/ZoomAudioDevice

I see that the kext is unsigned and I saw that for kexts Apple requires them to be signed by a special kext enabled certificate. In order to obtain this certificate Apple had some questions about the kext that I could not answer. Is there any way for me to be able to notarize the ZoomAudioDevice.kext ?

Hi [thanh.thai](https://devforum.zoom.us/u/thanh.thai),

Thanks for the post. The `ZoomAudioDevice` requires the certificate from us. We are going to have a release recently so we will have the `ZoomAudioDevice` signed in the next release. Pardon the inconvenience caused by this.

Thanks!
