> How many unsigned apps are you downloading and running?

For me, quite a few? Internal tools at work, open source projects which publish builds on their github, that sort of stuff.

(And no, paying Apple a yearly subscription for the privilege of letting users run an app is not a reasonable expectation of small open source projects)

Yeah, but you only need to approve an app once. I think I Ctrl+Open an app like once a quarter on average, sometimes going most of a year. This really isn't a big deal.
Just tell these advanced users to compile it themselves.

Problem solved.

The users are too busy buying their mom iphones.
