You've got to be kidding me. When Apple's servers are down, all Macs worldwide start freezing randomly? My XCode is hanging during builds, is this why?

This code signing enforcement stuff has gone way too far. Heads should roll for this.

Wait what happens if you don't have an internet connection? Can Macs not be used offline any more, surely that's still a relatively common use case for a laptop even today in a lot of places?

If you don't have a connection, it just doesn't do the check. If you have a crappy connection like many of our students, it takes forever to check. If the server is down, life just sucks and non-Apple programs don't open.
