Put any unsigned binaries into an app bundle

Reported by Support | March 1st, 2023 @ 10:47 AM

Assigned to GPG Mail Support Plan #4617. Various tools show our shell script binaries as being from an unknown developer.
This of course is confusing for users.

Also Apple System Settings › General › Login Items shows kind of a mess and we should figure out how to better couple the items together.

Use sfltool dumpbtm from eclecticlight or Patrick Wardle to learn more.

Edit: Interesting tidbit from Quinn "the Eskimo" which basically states that code signed binaries (code signed by packaging them into an app bundle) are pure cosmetics. Wasn't completely aware of that:
