Can apple not use security certificates to verify publishers ? why does it need to go to their servers ?
The URL mentioned in sibling comments suggests this has to do with certificate revocation (OCSP): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Certificate_Status_Prot... I agree that breaking system availability when an OCSP server isn't available is user-hostile and unnecessary.

#139Don't you love it the ability to compile and run software on your hardware is controlled by a third party over the internet? I sure love the SAAS future we are heading forwards.
