> Am I understanding this correctly: the devs who downloaded Xcode from an unknown source disabled gatekeeper to get it to run? This is generally known as hubris. We think we're smart and that the rules don't apply to us, because we know better than the other people. Turns out they can protect us too. Who knew? In this instance, I'd give the Chinese developers the benefit of the doubt, having recently had first hand…
in which case it's on Apple to improve their CDN within China I'm not quite sure why it's up to anyone outside of China, Apple included, to bear the cost of China's firewall dickery. This is on China to turn off their firewall or bear the costs, commercial and otherwise, of this stupidity. Perhaps Chinese developers shouldn't be allowed to submit apps to the non-Chinese app store?
