Do I have to enroll in Apple Developer Program to distribute macOS applications as a final product?

fastlane

Our build process is automated using fastlane. That handles building and testing the app as well as signing, notarizing and uploading to Amazon S3. We distribute via a link on our website -- Callisto. Updates are handled using Sparkle. We have a custom built appcast generator as part of our website that reads the S3 bucket and builds the feed that Sparkle uses.

Visual Studio App Center

We've been working on bring the Sparkle chain in house, just so we own that part of the delivery system, but we were using Microsoft AppCenter to handle app distribution to start with. Their solution is pretty turnkey, and we found it to work pretty well. We've been moving that in-house just to eliminate the reliance on a third party and having to justify why are app keeps talking to MS servers.
