This happened last month but I wanted to make sure to get it out there for the new year and all of you who have “Write an AIR Application” as one of your New Year’s Resolutions. Chosen Security is offering code signing certificates for individual developers. Previously, the only way to sign your AIR applications was to start a corporation and provide proof of your corporation. Now all you need to do is to provide a government issued ID. There are more details on the process in this PDF document.

If you’re creating AIR applications it is VERY IMPORTANT for you to sign your applications when you release them to the public. The user knows the application they’re using is by the person it says it’s from, and it’s important for the AIR experience. Hopefully this puts code signing certificates within reach of more developers.
