Request for digital signature in AppImage

Type             : Request
Priority         : Medium
Gambas version   : Unknown
Product          : Unknown


Description
-----------

Hi Benoit, 

Claus Dietrich had already talked about it with me, referring to this paragraph:
https://appimage-builder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced/signing.html#appimage-signing
then I read this response from the AppImage programmer: 
https://discourse.appimage.org/t/what-potential-exists-for-appimage-abuse-to-inject-malware/67
so I verified that closing an AppImage in a sandbox is complicated and I believe that in some cases it is even impossible. 

Therefore I am asking you if it is possible to add the digital signature of the programmer when creating the AppImage from the Gambas IDE. 

Thanks for the attention
Regards
Gianluigi
