Submit my app to Mac App Store. workflow:

Sign with cert: Developer ID Application ---> Success
Notarize ---> Success
Sign with cert: 3rd Party Mac Developer Application ---> Success
productbuild with cert: 3rd Party Mac Developer Installer, and get .pkg artifact---> Success
Transporter upload ---> Success
TestFlight notify, and app update to the latest version ---> Success
Click open, and then the ERROR comes like the screenshot photo

So I'm confusing which step's wrong. And I believe my account certificates, profiles are all configured with no problem.

Anybody have any clues? I've been here for many days.

One more thing is wired is that I noticed there's a dot at the beginning of app name.

Is that the app’s bundle ID? It doesn’t look like it, because it also has what looks like Base64 goo at the end.

Is this an Electron app?

[Sadly, walkthunder replied in the comments and thus I didn’t see their replies )-: See Quinn’s Top Ten DevForums Tips for a bunch of hints and tips, including a warning about this issue.]

So, yeah, this is a well-known issue with Electron apps. I’m not an Electron expert but my understanding is that you can fix it by tweaking the way you package your native code. See this post.
