If it checks with Apple servers every time you execute a new binary, what happens if you don't have an Internet connection? Are you just unable to run new code?

I think it just skips the checks if internet isn't available. But doesn't that kind of defeats the point of notarization?

Hopefully you're also less likely to get new unsafe binaries when disconnected. But it's all still awful.
