hiddenbar broken since macOS 12.3.1 update
Describe the bug
Since the macOS 12.3.1 update + reboot, it shows a dialogue box with this:
"Hidden Bar.app" can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.
This software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for more information.
Homebrew Cask downloaded this file on 2. March 2022 from github.com.
Steps to reproduce
- try to start hiddenbar 1.9
- I tried
brew reinstall --cask hiddenbar, but it still does not work afterwards.
Environment
You may write here the specifications like the version of the project, operating system, or hardware if applicable.
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: macOS 12.3.1, M1 cpu
- hiddenbar 1.9
Control-Clicking the App in Finder, then "Open" helped ....
One needs to look into the help of that dialogue box to find that.
Looks like brew reinstall --cask hiddenbar works to install v1.9. I am running macOS Version 12.3.1.
brew upgrade --cask hiddenbar
Running `brew update --preinstall`...

Appreciate you creating the issue as it helped me install the new version using the brew reinstall --cask hiddenbar shown in "Steps to reproduce" section in your comment.
Unfortunately, brew reinstall not work. Need to use command like sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Hidden\ Bar.app to fix this issue.
Mac12.4 click the command button in the menu bar, and there is no '|' and '<', that's why the icon is too little?
That solution worked for me back then: https://github.com/dwarvesf/hidden/issues/201#issuecomment-1086727984
@studiohansen your issue sounds different than the one described in the top post, so maybe it gets better visibility if you open a new github issue for it and move your text to the new issue (and delete it from this one).
Currently, this problem still seems to remain. In my case I was able to start the application by typing the command as commented on https://github.com/dwarvesf/hidden/issues/201#issuecomment-1115895973

I can confirm this is still an issue.
Edited: - Scratch that. This command from above works - sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Hidden\ Bar.app
Had the same issue, have a MacBook Pro M3. The command mention by @gricn worked.
