I've been able to verify Gatekeeper and our ability to sign our
installers using our Developer ID Installer certificate. After going
through that process, I noticed that once an installer is signed, the
installed contents (i.e., applications) will run without issue, even
though the executables themselves are not actually signed.
I think we'll ultimately want to sign all of our executables with our
Developer ID Application certificate regardless, but I'm just
wondering - will it ever become strictly necessary to sign executables
that are distributed via a signed installer? Or would it only be
necessary to sign an app that's installed manually, e.g., by copying
the bundle into /Applications?
Thanks in advance,
Ed
