Latest versions of Mac OS connect to the Internet and gets apples permission before opening an app.

If you are on a high latency network, eg weak wifi signals, you'll be waiting 200-300ms.

Those on super fast internet don't notice, and think it's a problem with you, but no, it's Apple.

Pretty sure this is only on first time launch to verify the notarisation.

It doesn't happen every time.

Is that only for the App Store? I'm not seeing that traffic.

I live in a rural area, city under 40k. We don't have amazing internet.

No, it's for all apps.
