The options in System Preferences are:
Allow apps downloaded from:

○ App Store and identified developers
There used to be a third option,
○ Anywhere
but the frog is warmer now.
- zepto 6y agoYour options list supports my assertion: Identified developers = signed FYI: frogs actually do jump out of water as it gets hotter. You may be right that this changes in the future, but for now I am correct.
- Miraste 6y agoApple's next move is to disallow unsigned software entirely, Gatekeeper popup or no. They already announced it for ARM Macs [0]. It currently allows adhoc signatures, but I'd be shocked if that didn't go away in the next couple of versions unless they were built locally.

- zepto 6y agoThat document doesn’t appear to say what you are claiming. Disallowing unsigned software altogether would contradict other statements they have made. That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes something you can only enable from the command line. They have clearly stated that Apple Silicon Macs will be open to whatever software you want, but they may well choose to make that more difficult for inexperienced users.
- Miraste 6y ago"starting in macOS Big Sur 11 beta 6, the operating system enforces that any executable must be signed before it’s allowed to run." This line seems clear that unsigned code is not allowed, although I don't have a Transition Kit to try it for sure.
