Are you sure about this ? I did not give apple permission to keep a copy of my software that I am writing.



Yes you did, if you have notarized your app:

https://developer.apple.com/support/terms/apple-developer-pr...

Section 5.3: "By uploading Your Application to Apple for this digital notary service, You agree that Apple may perform such security checks on Your Application for purposes of detecting malware or other harmful or suspicious code or components, and You agree that Apple may retain and use Your Application for subsequent security checks for the same purposes."


I did not notarize my app. So it doesn't have a copy of my program, which I believe is a subset of every.


Isn’t that something you agree to when you notarize?
