| Apple applies Mac OS authentication |
Apple has indicated that developers who publish macOS applications outside the Mac App Store should now send them to Apple so that the authentication process begins on February 3 next year, so that users get more trusted authentication from the company that I can trust to examine malicious software components.
The company announced in June that it would need to authenticate all Mac software sold outside the store in order to work with macOS Catalina by default. Previously, Apple had temporarily changed the basic terms of the document to make this transition easier and protect users who continue to work with macOS Catalina from using older versions of the software.
The new policy requires developers to send security review apps to Apple. Otherwise, running on macOS Catalina is not easy. However, this step is not required for apps sold through Mac App Store.
A statement from the company said: If you have not already done so, download the software from the authentication service and check the developer logs for the warnings. From February 3 and 3, these warnings will cause errors, and if the issue is corrected, fix it before review. By default, documented software will continue to run on macOS Catalina until February 3.
It has been reported that Apple requires a new software with an developer ID to be distributed outside the store for registration to function properly since the release of macOS Mojave 10.14.5. Authentication is designed to protect Mac users from malware. And malicious applications.
