Packaging questions and review request

Hello, there was an external which I was working on, on and off and I think it is releasable now.

Before submitting it to Cycling 74 I want to get your feedback.

  • Created a ref page

  • Did a cross platform build

  • Created a home patcher and put the logo

  • Created maxhelp

  • Put in readme.md

  • Tested the external as much as I can

  • Code signing with my dev id for mac
    codesign -f -v -s "${DEVELOPER_ID}" --entitlements "${ENTITLEMENTS}" --timestamp --options=runtime "${PROFILE_EXTERNAL_PATH}"

Questions:

  • Currently I only have 1 external in the package I wish to publish but maybe in time I'll add more. Is this fine?

  • Should I notarize before submitting (probably yes but I wanted to also get your idea)

  • How frequently can I update my package if it is accepted after submission?

  • Is my structure ready for submission?

  • What entitlements should I include for a max external in general. It also reads and writes files through max api?

Thanks a lot!
