some questions:
- Would it be practically viable if the notarization went through some
Mac user like Berend? Meaning that the result of the building process is
sent to him, and then he "somehow" notarizes the file.
- What exactly does Apple device mean? Surely an iphone would not be enough?
Ah, it's actually not as bad as I thought. I was able to configure
two-factor authentication via one-time access to a current Mac, and
apparently they're willing to send access codes to android phones!
So I've now managed to renew my Apple developer status.
The money doesn't bother me that much, though it would be nice to
have a mechanism for contributions. In that respect Apple and MS are
much the same: about $100/year for each to be able to sign your
software. I've been doing that for a few years now.
