    This is so dumb. Of course you can run an app coded by your friend. Either your friend can pay $100 a year to notarize their app, or you can pay $100 a year to run his app as a developer. Couldn’t be easier.

    Edit: apparently I need to add /s. I figured this was a stupid enough take that it was obvious.

      Either way, somebody pays Apple $10} a year. After paying them the equivalent of a kidney for the hardware. No thanks.

      At least it’s just a $100 on Windows you pay $800 a year to the certification mafia to get your code signed and get rid of the warning.

        At least on Windows you can run your software without paying a single cent.

        Mac Maffia is much bigger extortion.

          You can also do that on MacOs. Just need to disable or bypass Gatekeeper. Which is not hard to do.
