Manuel, Thanks for the references and follow up. I had seen Kennith's posts about the new command line tools for XCode, but didn't seen John Gruber's take! Much appreciated. On Tue, Feb 21, 2012 at 2:52 AM, Manuel M T Chakravarty wrote: > Austin Seipp: >> On Sun, Feb 19, 2012 at 8:39 PM, Tom Mur

In fact, since Gatekeeper, by design, can only quarantine applications acquired through the App Store or a download (or any other method which applies the quarantine flag), it may be entirely irrelevant for you depending on how you distribute. Applications on physical media are exempt, source bu

As has been mentioned, it's already possible to override Gatekeeper on a per-app basis, and what I've seen so far is that it operates just as the download warning: once you get past the first check, it never bothers you again. Is it unreasonable for your users to open it that way once? As for s

Well, the command-line tools are now available as a standalone package[1] separate from Xcode[2], so Apple's taken notice of and responded positively to large efforts like Homebrew and MacRuby. With that in mind, I don't think it's unreasonable to think this support also applies to other users o
