This is completely ridiculous. Epic agreed to not sign certain software, but they did.
Epic promised not to do certain things, but they decided to break that promise. You can call that a “business dispute”, but that doesn’t portray Epic as any less untrustworthy. Epic obviously can’t be trusted to not abuse their signing keys.
Why should Apple allow a known untrustworthy party to sign OS X apps? Honestly, the idea that you should somehow separate these things is probably the stupidest thing I’ve heard during all of my years on HN.
- cma 5y agoYou are talking about unrelated mobile business dispute stuff. Desktop key signing was for security only. Mobile payment things challenging a monopoly force are totally unrelated. Apple even promised: security only for keys on desktop, none of their iOS control games.
- ryanlol 5y agoI am talking about abuse of signing keys by Epic, not about “mobile payment things challening a monopoly force”. Your PR spin does not change the important facts. Why epic did what they did is completely irrelevant.
