It's currently required for apps that are distributed outside of the Mac App Store.

The e-mail I got suggested that it was recommended but not required for apps distributed directly to users.

"XCode 10 will not play with us at all" - how so? It works perfectly for me, developing OS X apps on 10.13.6 with Objective C.

No it's not. From this page https://developer.apple.com/developer-id/

Note that in an upcoming release of macOS, Gatekeeper will require Developer ID signed software to be notarized by Apple.

An "upcoming release of macOS" is as specific as anyone can be at this point.

My understanding is that as of the release of macOS Mojave it is currently required for all apps that are distributed by registered developers outside of the Mac App Store.

An upcoming release will require it from all registered developers (even for apps distributed on the Mac App Store).

It's absolutely not required at this point.

I hope that you will not have to repeat again.

The way Gatekeeper works now, it warns you if you are about to launch an unsigned application and you can choose to launch it anyway. "required" would be different - you couldn't launch it. This would be a big problem for development teams. It's likely that XCode would take care of this in the build process.
