Hi Eric,

That won't be because you signed your app. You can modify both
resources and the binary itself and, by default, it will continue to
run. Code signing affects things like access to the Keychain, the
firewall and Parental Controls and even then, it only affects the
prompts you see. It's not designed to prevent tampering.

Kind regards,

Chris
