Do I need an Apple license to distribute a DMG installer?

Thanks… I gather that an Apple dev account is free and it checks the binary you submit to it and notarizes it if it passes the malware scan.

The account might be free, but to notarize you need to register in the developer programme with an annuall fee of 99 USD:
