Astro IIDC will NEVER be in the Apple Store nor can it ever be Signed.

You can not use QuickTime and Sand Boxed apps (a requirement for Lion
and Mountain Lion) and can not access FireWire, USB (HID) or
Thunderbolt if it's SandBoxed.

To Sign Astro IIDC, I basically have to remove PowerPC support, Remove
all QuickTime Support (QTKit doens't have the low level access I
need), and reduce the number of OSX versions I support to just Lion
and higher.

So basically I kill off 2/3's of my meager Customer base just for that
crap - ain't going to happen.
