I think macOS will check that the developer certificate used to sign the application you're about to start hasn't been revoked.
Search for ocsp.apple.com, around November 2020, for details.
- mahathu 5y agoI found this related HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25076588 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25076588 I wonder why this didn't blow up more, it sounds like such a privacy nightmare.
- __d 5y agoYeah. For me, I accept that there's a tradeoff between being able to revoke the signed status of an application, and doing a certificate check at launch time. And you're already trusting Apple with a bunch of stuff, so one more thing isn't that much worse. But yeah, it's still creepy, and ripe for abuse.
