I'm a small, independent developer, and like many of you, I sometimes build apps primarily for my own use. One major pain point I've run into repeatedly is the expiration of Apple's development certificates. This renders my personal apps – like my essential notes and to-do app – unusable. It's incredibly disruptive, especially when I'm away from my Mac and can't immediately renew the certificate. Has anyone else faced this frustration? I feel that for personal apps installed directly on our own devices, having indefinite certificates would be a massive improvement. It would streamline the experience for small developers like myself and remove an unnecessary roadblock to using our own creations. I'm curious: Are there workarounds I might not be aware of? Would others support the idea of non-expiring certificates for personal apps on our own devices? Let's discuss this and see if we can collectively find a better solution or advocate for change! Let me know what you think!
