It’s not necessary about considering users idiots. As with anything, once a critical mass of users was reached people started creating malicious software, and code signing is a way to help prevent that.
Of course you can run your own self-signed APK on your own phone, nobody is preventing you. But use the Apple App Store as a delivery medium? Come on. Code signing is a bare, completely responsible minimum.

- orf 7y agoTook me about 5 minutes after installing Xcode on my Mac. What’s so difficult?
- benhurmarcel 7y agoBut you need a mac.
- peteforde 7y ago5 minutes!? It should only have taken you 1.5 minutes. At the very most.
- saagarjha 7y agoNit: this app was distributed via TestFlight, not the App Store. (It still has similar signing requirements.)
