it's per publisher, company accounts can have multiple developers, a bit misleading there, and it's not even needed for mac apps, just for publishing and distributing notarized apps or through the app store


Apple has made opening non-notarized apps a huge pain.

First, it was a setting in system preferences to allow unsigned apps.

Then, that option was removed and it was the a are-you-sure-you-want-to-open-this dialog on every first run of a new or updated app.

Then the "Open" button on the dialog was removed and put in the Security preferences pane.

When System Preferences became System Settings a couple releases ago, that button got moved below the fold in the Privacy and Security prefpane. This is the current state today and is infuriating for some OSS apps, especially niche ones.

At one point, there was a command-line way to clear the xattr 'com.apple.quarantine' on the .app, but that also got nuked in a recent update.


I've always just used the right-click-Open approach. Does that not still work?


It does still work, yes.


But people still want to believe macOS will not become locked down like iOS. It is quite funny. The only reason it has not yet been done is because it is technically hard to do so on a platform that wasn't built that way from the get-go.


the article displays a couple of screenshots on why it's a poor experience, bottom navigation is to small and the back button is behind the camera, it's very unlikely to be fixed at the component level so devs end fixing these issues themselves by creating a new component that may not behave entirely as the system one, using the device's safe area


I don’t see the same issues you mentioned when checking the screenshots on their App Store / Play Store pages. But that was a good catch of yours.

I’m relatively confident that they used a device frame around their actual screenshots, which leads back to those issues you mentioned. You can tell that they’ve used different device frames in their current store listings compared to the realistic looking ones on the aforementioned Flutter showcase page.

This whole process can even be automated. I’m talking about a CI/CD workflow that takes screenshots of specific pages, and adding device frames around them etc. See this tool for example: https://docs.fastlane.tools/actions/frameit/


not their computers, also Apple usually pushes changes forward, not backwards, in this case using lightning they just diverged from micro USB, and probably now most people have USB-C chargers

salvadorean here, dictatorship means absolute power, which he currently has now that they control the 3 branches [1]

Did he persecute people like Pinochet did? Calling him a dictator is like having someone saying that misgendering them caused them PTSD: it is putting war induced trauma in the same bag as whatever misgendering is.


"Persecuting people like Pinochet" isn't really the bar.

I was alluding to the time he brought the military into the legislature to force through his 'crime package.' [1]

Belorussian leader Alexander Lukashenko refers to himself as the "last dictator in Europe" and I don't think he "persecutes people like Pinochet." He was also elected.

I have no idea who exactly is or isn't a dictator, but there is a Spanish word for the situation when a democratically or legally elected leader acquires dictatorial powers by breaking down institutions: it's called an "autogolpe" or self-coup.

I realize it happens outside of Central and South America, but it's suggestive that there's a specific word.


also Latin America, where their value offer is strong
