Apple is going actually in opposite way and you can see it with recent changes on iOS. To run apps on iPhone, you don&#x27;t need to buy a developer licence for 100$ anymore. They support more extensions for apps. On last Apple keynote Microsoft was presenting Microsoft Office running on iPad Pro.<p>The special licence you are talking about actually exists. You can sign your Mac apps with a certificate and it will not ask a user if you want to open it, but this is not restrictive at all. This is actually a benefit because nobody can modify your app so if they would force this, I wouldn&#x27;t mind. Most of apps that I use are signed anyway.
