Apple will make users know that there are loads of hackers trying to trick them. The threat is extremely real.

> 10,000 are gaslit into thinking you were trying to harm them

Gaslit? Again, many are absolutely trying to harm users. Pretending this is some fake threat is perverse.

As much as people like to complain about downloaded software having restrictions, or encouraging the developer to be verified by Apple, we had already entered a world where users were told to never, ever run any software not by one of the bigs. I mean, I've told relatives that, for good reason after they installed malware and other nonsense repeatedly. It sucks having to get an Apple account and sign your executable, but for any normal user outside of the foolish, that was the only way they were ever going to run your app.

And honestly, for the case given this should be a web app. People shouldn't be trusting some random executable by some random group.
