Thanks for sharing.

Everyone is speed running towards a future where you need a permit to write software.

Try to run a binary that doesn’t have the right cert( or whatever it’s called on Windows) and you get a bunch of warnings.

Even if Android is open , normal people will only use the App Store. I can imagine China forcing Apple to allow 3rd party installations of software one day .

The EU did something where to my knowledge Apple still gets a cut of each sale.

Not just warnings.

I literally can't run non signed software in the job-provided computer even if I compile it myself.
