If anybody does this be sure to use the timestamp option, otherwise your signed code expires when your certificate expires. At $170 per year it's still obscene relative to what they're producing (and that's the first-time price, renewals are full price at $200). I have read that GoDaddy has the cheapest. If anything I'm pissed at the certificate vendors for what they charge for these things. Granted, it's a hassle now that they're forcing it on but it's hardly some secret Microsoft extortion scheme. Thawte had the gall to advertise that they had 'high quality' certificates, which is meaningless. In fact, last time I checked (about a year ago), iOS signing still requires you to own a Mac since their licenses make it illegal to run those parts of their toolchain on another OS (can we burn somebody else at the stake yet?).Ĭode-signing was Sun's idea for Java Applets around the end of the 90s and back then the certificates were magnificently expensive. Linux can require signed code, and you can't publish anything to iTunes without signing it. The first time it gets flagged as malware, signed or not, it's permanently blocked everywhere.Īnd before the fanboys get out their anti-Microsoft pitchforks, everybody does this.
