The user's device has to trust the developer/enterprise certificate, which then signs the app. Users can import certificates and CAs, it's a manual step on devices that are not managed by MDM. This is mostly used by enterprises, but can be used in other contexts where users trust a developer to sign software (and not sign malware!) for their device. That implies the developer securing the signing key.
