Are there a lot of people interested in this? We hear complaints from OSX users about the packages not being signed the OSX way, but if we've received bugs about putting TBB into the app store, they have been so infrequent and long ago that I don't remember them. I'm not disagreeing with your claim, I just wonder where the interest is happening so I can read about it. :) > Here are some possible solutions: > - Submit Apple agreements to Wendy for review and > rejection/acceptance.

If someone reading this has put something in the app store (which may or may not be different from the app store the iPhone uses? does anyone know?) please send us a copy of any agreements you may have! > - Actively decide to continue without being blessed by Apple, but > focusing instead on educating Mac users about their application security > options. I am at this point in favor of signing OSX packages with their codesigning but in order to acquire a codesigning cert you have to jump through some hoops (and there is the aforementioned issue of "who buys the certs? person or organization?"; see also #10002) This is why this problem has never been "solved" -- every time we look at it we get discouraged, confused, and/or ideologically enraged.
