Dear all,
Background:
Creating properly signed and notarized releases for macOS requires a paid membership in Apple's developer program. This membership comes in the form of a yearly subscription. So every year we get to decide anew if we see enough value in signing macOS releases to warrant the expense of 99 € that comes with it.
It is possible to distribute and use unsigned apps on macOS just like on Windows. The downside is that a user has to take additional (but not overly complicated) steps to make this work while macOS itself discourages people from using unsigned apps.
Proposal:
We've been creating signed macOS apps since 1.0 and I propose to continue this practice at the expense of 99 €.
Additional information:
Whatever the PLC decides in this case here is ABSOLUTELY IRRELEVANT to my purchase decision. I am buying this either way. The question is only if I'm going to use it for Inkscape or not.
Votes:
a. Agree to spend 99 € on the Apple Developer program ("I want signed macOS releases") b. Disapprove participation in the Apple Developer program ("I do not want signed macOS releases") c. Other: ________Best regards, René
