#102Hmm, green account, no comments or submissions, generated website for an unsigned app with power user features. That’s a no from me dawg.
Understandable! This is a pre-release of the app. You can come back later when everything is in place and the app is officially released, signed and notarized :)
Will you be releasing source?

Secret shortcut?!?
I don't know how obvious it is these days, but the default path through D&B's website is the terrible one. They will try to extract money from you and harass you forever. You had to find Apple's own embedded form for it by using their search and going through some flow.
I’ve done it! I’ve gone through the D&B website years ago and i remember it sucking. Don’t know when I’ll need to do it again but this is good to know. Thank you!

How is this better than trying to eliminate the problem between the keyboard and the computer? The user won't learn if the computer handholds them through everything.
Because the vast majority of users have no interest in learning how to safely vet apps and just want to easily use their computers and not worry about malware.
That goes for the malware on the App Store too, though: https://blog.lastpass.com/posts/warning-fraudulent-app-imper...

Gatekeeper should be banned. It's my machine, let me use it
You can just click to run the app. Gatekeeper doesn't stop you from running apps. If you really want to ban Gatekeeper you can. sudo spctl --master-disable As the saying goes about being careful, measure twice and cut once.
A bunch of things break when you do that, though I do run my osx machine that way. The point is that it shouldn't be the default, it's the end of personal computing.

You forgot closed source. It’s a closed source dropdown menu.
If I had a nickle for every time a Mac user paid for the privilege of using a proprietary toolbar app...

If you don't want your name, address, phone number on public display you need to either set up a company or set up some forwarding. If you set up a company, you'll need to get a DUNS number. If you haven't done it before and don't know about the secret shortcut way to do that, it is very annoying to get one. Anyway, I don't see a problem with getting it out the door. People can just choose not to install it if they d…
Still unbelievable that they require a DUNS number and not a simple EIN, that fact alone set our app launch back weeks.
It’s a one time inconvenience that filters out most mid level scammers. It’s a small price to pay for a reasonably clean App Marketplace.

Gatekeeper and notarization are not silliness. They exist for a reason. I thought it would be a good idea to release the app during development when I am sure that it works correctly and then maybe get some feedback from early users.
They aren't silliness, they are levers of control and loss of freedom
They are also a barrier to entry that keeps some of the riff raff out.

The truth is that Gatekeeper should go the way of the devil. It is my machine and I paid for it, why does the OS care about what I do with it? The only thing this leads to is making sure your customers grow into good little lemmings.
I really don't understand what the issue is? Gatekeeper is merely a warning that introduces a minimal friction if what are you trying to run is created by an entity that chose not to present itself. It only happens once per application, not per launch. I've spent more time reading this thread than I have removing quarantine flags in the last five years. Apple has a lot to be criticized for but gatekeeper (and SIP) is…
Exactly. It’s a security checkpoint and auditing tool, like sudo.
Re: Ghostmoon.app – A Swiss Army Knife for your macOS menu bar
#110This looks cool enough, but it’s starting to drive me crazy how people are in such a rush to put out their macOS apps they can’t be bothered to get a developer account and run a one line command. It’s not hard. I used to be sympathetic to complaints about not wanting to pay the developer account fee. But when you’re vibe coding, you’re probably paying a good chunk of change to your LLM supplier of choice every month,…

What's the secret shortcut way to set up a company in your jurisdiction?
