By paying the Apple tax for a developer license and then just... signing your code every time you compile it?
You really think after selling computers for 43 years Apple is not going to allow people to compile programs without signing every time you compile?
How do you propose they are going to lock down scripting languages and programs built with .Net Cord and Java? Are they going to disallow any code on the Mac that’s built on top of a VM?
The financial motive is the glaringly obvious walled garden! It's the vendor's control over the device you purchased!
So are they now going to lock down outside vendors from creating whatever the new equivalent of kext are without paying a fee?
bad faith interpretation of what I said previously. There are ways to ensure user security that don't remove control of the system from the end user.
You mean by allowing advanced users of the Mac to turn off safeguards- exactly what they are doing now?
Btw, a lot of developers are saying that moving away from kernel extensions will make it easier to build Hackintoshes not harder.
