We want to get a Mac Developer ID to sign our app for the Gatekeeper. When the user downloads the signed app, can the certificate info (common name, etc.) be displayed somewhere? Or it's for Apple internal use?

It's for Apple internal use. All info about your app my be appearing in app "About panel" and only you decide which info will be appear.

  • Thanks, I was thinking so. But could you provide the source of this info? Cannot find the confirmation in the official docs... – Dmitry Isaev Jul 05 '13 at 05:12
  • "Code signing is used in combination with your App ID, provisioning profile, and entitlements..." None of these elements is not available to the user. https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/CodeSigningYourApps/CodeSigningYourApps.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40012582-CH23-SW2 – Nikolai Nagornyi Jul 05 '13 at 06:16
  • "Used in combination ... to ensure that ..." ≠ "is not displayed anywhere"? – Dmitry Isaev Jul 05 '13 at 06:34
  • if the information to be used anywhere else, it would have been stated. – Nikolai Nagornyi Jul 05 '13 at 09:05
