Signing #278

This signing thing is cumbersome. Can't someone just get an apple developer certificate and release signed installers or something? Xcode extensions can also be distributed via the mac app store

I don't mind signing and building myself, but it would definitely be awesome if this could be trivially installed through the app store.

Did you read Why Resign XCode? It sounds like the problem is that Apple no longer allows 3rd party plugins, and the suggested replacement is not powerful enough to support XVim.

It's not enough to sign the plugin, you need to re-sign Xcode. And distributing a re-signed version of Xcode would probably get your developer account banned quickly.

The best course of action would probably to contact Apple and request that they improve the capabilities of Source Editor extensions.
