Apple ARM binary codesign issue

[Andreas Falkenhahn]

Slightly off-topic, but maybe someone here knows something about this: When distributing Apple ARM apps outside the App Store, is it sufficient to sign them using ad-hoc or self-signed certificates or is it mandatory now to pay the $99 per year even if the app is going to be distributed outside the App Store?
