I meant it in a way where you still need Apples "permission" to distribute the app, through the developer license and notarization. Without it you/we couldn't sign the app causing trouble for the end user, or am I wrong here?
- hermitcrab 3y agoYou can distribute your Mac app without signing, but customers have to set their preferences to accept unsigned apps, which is not the default. So not advisable. So you sort of need Apple's permission. But, as long as you are prepared to stump up the ~$100 per year and don't do anything stupid, then the certificate and notarization shouldn't be an issue. I haven't heard of any bona fide developers being refused a certificate. And I haven't had any issue with notarization (yet).
- hermitcrab 3y agoBTW I have heard of bona fide developers being kicked out of the Mac and iOS app stores for all sorts of dodgy reasons.
