You can sign an app that will download from your own website and install
without any issues. I’ve done it with a number of apps.

Monte and I put together some code that code signs an executable. It is
used in the code that packages up an app built with the GLX App Framework.
The code could be pulled out and used independently of the framework
packager though. It is a simple call that looks like this:

signAndStrip thePathToAppBundle, theCertificateName, isMAS

It would be great to have the IDE handle this when people build
applications but right now the code I have will only run on OS X. Maybe
that isn’t a big issue though.
