SSL certificates are not the same thing as code-signing certificates. I'm not aware of any service which hands out free certificates for code-signing (and AFAIK on Apple mobile devices at least, you need to purchase the code-signing certificates from Apple only, via the $99 developer fee).

Just because the cost is baked in somewhere else, it does not mean you are not paying for an SSL certificate.
