Not being a Mac developer, the wording about revoking the certificate makes it sound a little more unusual than just their account being banned. Although not nice, I assume that's something that happens a lot.
- simonh 6y agoThe developer's account is liked to the certificates used to sign their app binaries. If MacOS is set to only allow signed binaries to run, that means this developer's app binaries won't run. Their customers can work around this by disabling the requirement for signed binaries, but of course that's not desirable and in corporate environments might not be allowed.
- auganov 6y agoI understand that. Just saying that when you word it as the certificate being revoked it's not immediately obvious that's a consequence of the developer account being banned. If the headline was "longtime Apple developer suspended" quite frankly I'd be much less interested, thinking it's a common occurrence.
