This just came up on the dev maillist: does Inkscape have a Mac developer ID.
No.
This looks like a board issue. Although I have a Mac, I am quite the noob on it, and do not know about Mac developer IDs. Perhaps su-v can chime in.
Not really: I don't develop native OS X (or iOS) applications myself, and only have the free membership which in the past was required to download Xcode and other developer resources from Apple's Mac Dev Center - nowadays they are available in the MAS (Mac App Store).
If this is something we need for a smoother experience on Mac, I hope someone can take initiative or tell me how to get the ID and credentials for us. Considering we are so close to native OSX builds, it'd be pretty nice to release 0.91 with it.
AFAIU the prerequisite to get a Developer ID for signing Mac applications is the Mac Developer membership. I doubt that Apple offers something that would "get the ID and credentials for us" where 'us' would mean the project (or a group of Inkscape developers with access to a Mac):
This page: https://developer.apple.com/programs/which-program/ lists two options:

For an individual developer who will be creating Mac apps for distribution on the Mac App Store.
* Mac Developer Program

For a company with a development team who will be creating Mac apps for distribution on the Mac App Store.
Note: A D-U-N-S Number is required.
