Mac OS: “FedoraMediaWriter.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should eject the disk image.

Getting the following error on Mac OS Sequoia 15.3.2:

Tried both Fedora Media Writer 5.2.3 and .5.3.4, both arm64 and x86 versions.

Even after codesigning with my own Apple ID it still fails

This is not a duplicate because I did remove the xattr and still got the error.

Right, but essentially it's the same problem that the binary is not signed.

[scj643]

Thing is it happens even when I did sign it.

I don't have arm64 mac to try it myself, but both x86_64 and arm64 are built the same way, except the architecture parameter. Can you try testing build from here https://github.com/FedoraQt/MediaWriter/actions/runs/15385386758 whether it makes any difference?

Your resting build is not working as well.

I'm getting the same issue on macOS 15.5 (Apple M3 Max). Testing build has same issue.

I was able to get it to work on an ARM machine by running the x86 binary -- I could not get the ARM binary to work.

I get the same error running your testing binary. But if I run it from the command line, it works correctly: /Volumes/FedoraMediaWriter/FedoraMediaWriter.app/Contents/MacOS/FedoraMediaWriter

[stouracp]

I have found a "workaround" xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/FedoraMediaWriter.app

And then it is running corectly. Saying "workaround", as the app should be correctly signed.
