Wait, it's either code sign and you don't get root or don't code sign and get root?
How retarded is macOS? Why is there no "no code sign and no root, just run as the user"?
- povertyworld 7y agoI'm pretty sure on Linux if you wanted to run Quake3 you had to run as root due to needing direct access to the GPU. Is Linux "retarded" too?

- povertyworld 7y agoI'm quoting the guy above me. Go tell him.

- crooked-v 7y agoPlenty of coding practices from 1999 are completely unacceptable today.
- povertyworld 7y agoYes. That is why Apple requires you to get your code signed.
- olliej 7y agoOr: you don’t codesign and users ignore your app in favor of the one that doesn’t require rebooting to recovery mode to disable core platform security features, so that chrome, etc can break your machine. Longer term I imagine that OS X will simply have an non-overridable sandbox that tightly restricts what any unnotarized app can do. Eg if you aren’t notarized you get access to your own container and no other part of the file system. Alternatively you could just sign your code properly and update it to hardware that’s existed for 15 years.
- judge2020 7y agoAnalogy falls apart for Chrome since it's safe to assume Apple either gives scaning priority to Google or has outright whitelisted their account (since Chrome updates so frequently and there's opportunity for Google to throw money at Apple)
- rcruzeiro 7y agoDoes chrome releases multiple builds a day? Scanning usually takes less than 1 hour.
- olliej 7y agoNotarization takes minutes and is presumably automated, so why wouldn’t chrome do it? You’re doing a great disservice to the engineers at google if you think the actual release work is so short that a few minutes for notarization is a problem.
