    Hi,

    Get a Code Signing Cert:

    Buy one from a legit Certificate Authority (CA) like DigiCert, Sectigo, or GlobalSign. They’ll verify who you are (or your biz) and hook you up.

    Sign Your Electron App:

    for windows: Use signtool to slap your signature on the .exe or .msi.

    for Mac: Use codesign for your .app or .dmg.

    Automate it with tools like electron-builder to make life easier.

    No Azure? No Problem )))) :

    You don’t need Azure for this. Just go straight to a CA, pay the fee, and you’re golden.

    Boom, you’re done. Your app’s legit now, and users won’t get those sketchy "unknown publisher" warnings.
