Because of the code signing for macOS


I haven't tried it myself, but it seems like that should be possible?

> You can sign Xcode apps within your continuous integration (CI) workflow by installing an Apple code signing certificate on GitHub Actions runners.

This costs money, requires some agreement signing and can "dox" developers, so not everyone wants a cert.


That is chef's kiss right there.

Security or authenticity is prevented by a security or authenticity policy.


This is common. Sometimes a security policy works (e.g. a password length requirement may cause people to come up with stronger password) and sometimes people consider it excessive and prefer to work around it (e.g. a password length requirement may cause people to write the password down on a sticky note and attach it to the computer screen).
