When I install an apk I made on my phone and I get warning about unverified apps and threat actors
Linux: I installed this app using 3 different package managers and I still have broken dependencies.
No wonder if you have three PMs at once
Linux, where everything is your own fault.
You can absolutely install whatever the fuck you want on your Mac, including another OS. iOS is much more restrictive however, if you want to install a self-made app, you have to reinstall it every week or pay Apple 100 bucks a year…
macOS just makes you jump through a hoop every time you run an application that’s not notarized.
In practice that means cross platform open source projects don’t want to pay money to join apple’s developer program and set up code singing and deal with certificates.
So after download an unsigned app, macOS refuses to start it until you go to system settings > security > and allow.
You have to do this again after every update.
It’s very annoying and does very little for security.
i’m running xattr -c all day every day to get my foss goodness running

I dont see this lasting much longer, tbh
It’s necessary because people develop software with Macs.
Indeed, that really is awful. Good luck sending that
soto your friends without making it public in app store.TestFlight
So you have to install an app to install an app that has to be tested? Genius.
I don’t think you understand? TestFlight is a program from Apple that allows distributors to send apps to people without it being in the store. TestFlight is actually very cool for developers who want feedback, crash reports, in a very polished environment. It’s Genius.
The TestFlight app just gives you access to the apps you have available to you. Like a Store. Genius.
Testflight distribution quickly expires. What is it, 30 days?
90
Better, but still annoying
Yes, salvation
Wow, someone knows nothing about macOS lmfao.
What makes them seem like they know nothing about MacOS? MacOS does make you go to System Settings for “unverified” apps.
What makes them seem like they know nothing about MacOS? MacOS does make you go to System Settings for “unverified” apps. I used it for 3 years (fairly recently), and sure, at some point I entered a random command that I don’t remember in recovery mode and got rid of that thing. But still it wasn’t meant to be this way according to Apple’s design.
