  • FIXES:
  • New: Apple required code signing for OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 and Yosemite 10.10 Apple Gatekeeper as automatic registered identified developer. Also Supports Apple's older Mac OS X 10.8 and 10.9 Gatekeeper and code signing.
  • All apps must be recompiled for Mavericks to avoid Gatekeeper trap
  • A upcoming change in the way the OS X security feature Gatekeeper works is essentially going to force developers to re-build and re-"sign" their applications and submit updates to Apple for programs that need to run in Mavericks or Yosemite. The upcoming change for security purposes only affects those running the forthcoming 10.9.5 or later, but cause cause apps that aren't updated to "break" (not launch) except through bypassing Gatekeeper, which most users will be loathe to do. The change will not force users to update their OS versions.
