I just tried 2 apps that I built in LC 9.5 business. I have Catalina beta 7 installed. Neither app was code signed or notarized. I moved the apps to that machine via a thumb drive and did not zip compress either one. They both launched on Catalina beta without complaint. Next I zipped one of

Hello Brahmanathaswami, I think this is because of how currently some handlers in lcb work. See bug https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18159 (and the related bugs) for more details. This affects other areas, such as how large numbers are shown in the variables pane in the debugger.
