StageHero is code-signed and notarized by Apple with secure automatic updates.
When you download and run StageHero, we want you to feel completely confident in its security. That's why we've implemented multiple layers of protection that leverage Apple's security infrastructure:
StageHero undergoes Apple's verification process with each release. This ensures the app you download is exactly the app we created, with no modifications or tampering. Updates are delivered securely through the Sparkle framework with cryptographic verification.
Every release of StageHero is digitally signed with our Apple Developer ID certificate. This signature verifies the app comes directly from Minus Technologies and hasn't been tampered with.
Before distribution, Apple's Notarization service scans the application for security issues and malware. This automated process must complete successfully for macOS to run the application.
Our Sparkle update framework uses EdDSA cryptographic signatures to verify that every update comes directly from us, protecting you from potential supply chain attacks.
You can verify StageHero's authenticity yourself using Terminal. The output should confirm the app is signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple.
