Can't notarize application: alttool is deprecated and notarytool not found

[perry-mitchell]

Hi,

I'm seeing the following error when using this action to release on Mac:

  • signing         file=dist/mac/Buttercup.app identityName=Developer ID Application: <snip> identityHash=<snip> provisioningProfile=none
notarytool not found, trying legacy.
📦 Start notarizing <snip> found at /Users/runner/work/buttercup-desktop/buttercup-desktop/dist/mac/Buttercup.app

    at MacPackager.doPack (/Users/runner/work/buttercup-desktop/buttercup-desktop/node_modules/app-builder-lib/src/platformPackager.ts:314:7)

So it seems like it's using the older tool. I'm using the latest macos version, so I'm not sure what's wrong. You can see my entire build config here: https://github.com/buttercup/buttercup-desktop/blob/eb31dfca9014eb99151441e35386e8f6c850a546/.github/workflows/build.yml

notarytool is found however, at: /Applications/Xcode_14.2.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/notarytool, so I'm not sure what's going wrong here.

I am also running into the same issue. Seemingly out of nowhere.
