Probably because the environment you use to compile it, like the terminal or Xcode, is added to "developer tools" under security settings. Xcode in particular does that for itself automatically.



So I don't even need to know how to bypass it because it happens automatically behind the scenes. Nice.


But if you edit a binary with a hex editor, invalidating its signature, you would need to know how to bypass it.


Unlike your average user, if you have the knowledge to apply a hex editor, then you probably can Google how to work around the signature error.
