Andrew a106f55360 [release-branch.go1.12] all: base64-encode binaries that will cause Apple notarization to fail
Starting with macOS 10.15 (Catalina), Apple now requires all software
distributed outside of the App Store to be notarized. Any binaries we
distribute must abide by a strict set of requirements like code-signing
and having a minimum target SDK of 10.9 (amongst others).

Apple’s notarization service will recursively inspect archives looking to
find notarization candidate binaries. If it finds a binary that does not
meet the requirements or is unable to decompress an archive, it will
reject the entire distribution. From cursory testing, it seems that the
service uses content sniffing to determine file types, so changing
the file extension will not work.

There are some binaries and archives included in our distribution that
are being detected by Apple’s service as potential candidates for
notarization or decompression. As these are files used by tests and some
are intentionally invalid, we don’t intend to ever make them compliant.

As a workaround for this, we base64-encode any binaries or archives that
Apple’s notarization service issues a warning for, as these warnings will
become errors in January 2020.
