Soon notarization will be required for Developer ID apps. This change allows
the Installer to run in two modes. The "dev mode" still builds the IME as
the prerequisite of the Installer and places the IME app bundle inside the
Installer's resources folder. That has been so since the beginning of this
project, and this continues to allow IME developers to test the input method.
On the other hand, if "McBopomofo-r$rev.zip" is placed in the NotarizedArchives
folder and McBopomofo is not built as a dependency of the Installer and the
app bundle is not copied to the resources folder, the Installer then can be
built as a notarizable app (otherwise Xcode wouldn't even let you submit it
for notarization).
To build the distributable Installer, notarize the IME app first, then zip the
app as McBopomofo-r$rev.zip and place that to the NotarizedArchives folder
under Source/Installer. Then build and submit the Installer for notarization.
This is in line with Apple's guideline in
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/notarizing_your_app_before_distribution/customizing_the_notarization_workflow
("If you distribute your software via a custom third-party installer, you need
two rounds of notarization.")
We don't expect that we make new Installers often enough, and therefore we
don't intend to automate this process via scripting.
Recent versions of Chrome started to rely on whether composing buffer
gets updated after an arrow key event to determine whether to dismiss
(force commit) the composing buffer and handle the arrow key event for
the omnibox URL suggestions.
When Caps Lock is on and when the character code is not printable, we
should simply reject handling such character instead of absorbing it and
inserting the character to the client buffer--not all apps handle those
insertions.
