[Bf-committers] Preparing Blender for GateKeeper

[Alexandr Kuznetsov]

Hi
Ta Da
"6.3 Apps that do not use system provided items, such as buttons and icons,
correctly and as described in the Apple Macintosh Human Interface
Guidelines will be rejected. "
I knew that Apple would add something why Blender won't be accepted to App
Store. (From 2010, but this is what I found without Apple's full
membership). Anyway, as a user, you have to switch permission from "Mac App
Store" to "Mac App Store and identified developers". But then why you can't
just change to "anywhere"? So there is no reason to support jailkeeper.
(I thought mac was Unix like and had root permission against viruses. It is
sad to see that Apple and Microsoft went way mainstream by dumbing down and
lock up their new OSs.)

Best Regards,
Alex
