[hatari-devel] Code signing for macOS

[Troed Sångberg <troed@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

macOS users know that when they download Hatari, they will be told that Apple cannot guarantee who the developers behind the app are. The users must manually go into Settings / Security and allow the app to run anyway (needs to be done only once).

The way to fix that is $99/year - and there seems to be no waiver available for random open source projects. However, this project succeeded by having somebody in the US (other countries might also work) go through what was needed to be seen as a non-profit organization, which then waives the fee and allows the app to run directly.

Before I start down this rout, any opinions? From what Apple has done before, I'm expecting it to get harder and harder to get an unsigned app running for the regular user.

regards,

Troed
