@andybons requested issue #34986 to be considered for backport to the next 1.13 minor release.

@gopherbot please open a backport for 1.12 and 1.13 since otherwise Apple will reject future point releases of those versions

[release-branch.go1.13] all: base64-encode binaries that will cause A…
abfbc05 
…pple 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.

Updates #34986
Fixes #35748
