This has been requested by a number of users to simplify and ease Spyder installation in corporate environments.

This is an initial resource on how we could sign our installer:

@mrclary, could you take a look at this one? At first glance the process seems similar to the one we use to sign our Mac app.

mrclary commented 10 months ago

Yep, I'll take a look. I think we can just use our Apple certificate and I think that constructor has the mechanism for it.

ccordoba12 commented 10 months ago

Thanks @mrclary for your help with this!

In the short term, we can use the Apple certificate, just like Napari does. I don't know anything about Windows security, but I think we will ultimately need another certificate to do it properly.

Good idea, just to get the ball rolling. But I also think we're going to need a Windows approved certificate.
