Where did you get that apps going through alternate app stores would be reviewed?

  "a baseline review that applies to all apps, regardless of their distribution channel [...] a combination of automated checks and human review."

    For what it’s worth, this already happens on macOS for non-app store apps.

      There's a pretty big difference between notarization on macOS and what's being described here.

        What would that difference be?
        • teg4n_ 3y ago
          The fact that notarization is not required to install an app on MacOS.

            I'm actually curious whether they're going to allow non-notarization apps to be installed, but keeping it hidden away. But any developer distributing non-approved applications won't ever be allowed to distribute on the app store as well without paying those fees.

          The “human review” part.
      • mcfedr 3y ago
        Notarization is also optional, annoying as a user, sure, but still optional

      Only if you want them to run without the annoying scary virus warning.

      Is there human review for notorized apps on macOS ? I thought it was only requiring a signature from a registered dev account.
