Also, distribution: Windows Defender requires code signing with an extended validation certificate, or going through the Windows Store. Otherwise users see a scary warning after installation how your app is probably a virus. But using an EV cert means you cannot build on a CD service (it comes on a dongl). And users hate the Windows Store. What am I missing as a mac person? I hear that most apps aren’t on the Windows Store. Is it normal to just have a virus warning and people ignore it anyway? Or can you just not distribute through a CD service?

> Or can you just not distribute through a CD service? You build on the CI, but then do the signing yourself on the machine which has the HSM... and then upload that as the release build...

If your executable isn't signed not only users will get a warning but browsers such as Chrome won't let you download it. Oddly enough malware distributors have no problem bypassing all this
