OS X Mountain Lion roars into existence
- Argorak 15y agoThis is incorrect. As the article states, Mountain Lion will only allow applications signed with an Apple Developer certificate. They don't need to be installed through the app store. Still not sure whether thats a good thing though :/.
- micheljansen 15y agoThis is also what was described by John Gruber: Users have three choices which type of apps can run on Mountain Lion: * Only those from the App Store * Only those from the App Store or which are signed by a developer ID * Any app, whether signed or unsigned The default for this setting is, I say, exactly right: the one in the middle, disallowing only unsigned apps. http://daringfireball.net/2012/02/mountain_lion http://daringfireball.net/2012/02/mountain_lion
- AndrewDucker 15y agoThat makes sense to me. By default people are kept marginally safe, power users can change it, and if you want your clueless uncle Jim to be kept safe you can lock him to the app store.
