Title: RE: Testing signed installer?
You can also just set the quarantine flag from Terminal.app like so:
$ xattr -w com.apple.quarantine "0000;4b3a40d0;Safari;|com.apple.Safari" FILENAME
where FILENAME is the thing you want to simulate pulling down. Alternatively, you could just run your local webserver and "pull it down" from there. Faster than uploading it elsewhere.

Oh, right! I forgot it has to be "quarantined"! Sorry! :-}

We put ours up on an ftp site - then pull it down on a local 10.8 and check it that way. If you do that with an unsigned installer you will have a problem with Gatekeeper.

I tired setting up a separate partition on my computer with a fresh install of Mountain Lion, but I can run the signed OR unsigned installer there with no problem whatsoever! Shouldn't the unsigned installer give me the Gatekeeper warning? I changed my settings to "Mac App Store", removing the registered developers option, but I can still run either installer version without any warning. Is there some way *I* can test that my signed installer works???
