Gatekeeper / Developer-ID signing? #17

Open andrew-hill opened 10 years ago

andrew-hill commented 10 years ago

When opening the installer, a pop-up complains:

“Safari.Tab.Switching-1.2.4.pkg” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.

I assume (and fully understand) this is because you do not wish to pay the $99/year fee to Apple just for signing applications.

That said, I just wanted to check that this is indeed the case, i.e. that I should expect it to be unsigned—any security that feature may provide becomes moot if people are trained to assume developers aren't signing as soon as the pop-up appears.

If the installer is intentionally not signed for Gatekeeper compatibility, could you please note this where you provide the download link?

And if you're keen to help out the novices, maybe add something like

"To open the installer, ctrl+click on it and select open in the context menu, to bypass the Gatekeeper security".

I actually have an Apple ID. It's more a problem of time. This project has been created under leopard with minimal needed updates since then. I'll see if I have the time to provide a signed version.
