Expected behavior
Signed and notarized builds generated for both M1 Mac and Intel Mac
Actual behavior
Build is signed and notarized for M1 Mac. Build fails on Intel Mac with a error code related to notarization. Further investigation revealed that this is because codesigning never happened. I never received an error about this. I noticed after disabling the notarization config and running "codesign -dvvv" on the generated build. I am using the same signing certificates and same electron forge configs on both machines
Steps to reproduce
Try to generate, codesign, and notarize a build on both M* and Intel Macs using the same signing certificate
Additional information
Just wanting to know if some has experienced something similar before and what they did to resolve it
On the Intel Mac, I noticed it never asks this question which it asks on the M1 Mac.
codesign wants to access key "Mac Developer ID Application: {Developer name}" in your keychain
This might be the failure point. I noticed the question came up when using electron-builder which successfully signed the app on the Intel Mac (confirmed with codesign -dvvv) but the app is broken (something to do with the resolution of internal file paths I presume)
Perhaps there's a config setting that should ensure this question comes up or the request is automatically allowed?
@drixie Does this behavior reproduce with the default Forge app? I wasn't able to repro on an Intel environment with the default app, trying to get a better understanding of what might be failing.
