I'm surprised it doesn't say "contact us on FaceTime"

If *I* have to contact *you* when something is under review by *you* it clearly means that nothing is being "reviewed" until that contact happens. So "under review" is a lie.

The Apple Developer saga continues... Tried to apply through the macOS app (had to bring a webcam from home) and got this as the final step.
The most bizare part (imho) is that *I* have to contact them because the enrollment is under review. Like WTAF!?

Dude... Spoiler alert was invented for a reason.

Another mindboggling thing is Home/End behavior. The behavior is inconsistent. The default OS behavior is different than on Windows (fine) but a lot of apps override it to work like it does on Windows. From VS Code to Gmail to GDocs, etc. Can't relearn as I can't know what it does where.

For some reason on a non-Mac keyboard Apple thinks that Cmd should go to the Windows key and Options goes to Alt. This makes the layout fundamentally different from the Mac keyboards. No idea what's the point of this but I figured I don't want to develop the "wrong" muscle memory.

That's the whole reason they are fighting - to make us unmute them.

I'm not smart enough to understand the "terrible consequences" but what would be the harm if there was some lower-grade code-signing option (eg. domain or GitHub repo based) that would popup some informational warning on installation but let users proceed?

This is pretty cool (at least in theory) for open-source projects on Windows. Seems complex for a simple fire-and-forget utility though and doesn't help you on macOS. signpath.org

This code-singing thing is getting more "fun" with every step I try to take.
I guess I'll stick with telling people to click "Continue anyway" on Windows. Unfortunately, not an option on Macs.

Apparently there's some process on the web and it didn't ask for ID photos (I suspect that is still coming). Feels like it just sent my credit card info by email to some dude who will now "process it"

I wonder if connecting some crappy old Logitech webcam would work? Somehow, I suspect the webcam has to be "Apple certified" for this process to work 😂

LOL. I'm on a Mac Mini. "You'd need to buy an iPhone for us to let you pay $99/year for our developer program"

LOL. Just a few hours after setting up a new Mac. I was told that this is a Windows thing...

Apparently it's the same on iOS.

I hope it's just the case of exposing corporate structure to customers and not some dark pattern shit.

To "compensate" for this great enhancement someone really smart decided to remove a 1x1 magnifier icon/widget and now it's 2x1 and not resizable. Clearly improved usability... NOT
