kitematic v0.17.9 for MacOS is not signed

App should open normally and without any alerts on MacOS

Actual behavior

MacOS displays a message informing that the OS cannot verify the app's developer and stops the user from opening it.

Information about the Issue

The App must be signed using an Apple Developer certificate.

$ spctl -a -v -v /Applications/Kitematic.app
/Applications/Kitematic.app: rejected
source=no usable signature

I'm facing the same issue. Can't use it now.

I confirm the same. Kitematic-0.17.9 is not signed nor notarized.

@Trackhe that is a system bypass and should not be recommended.

Docker Inc. recommends Kitematic and offers it as a download. They should have the resources to sign it, especially considering that they also provide Docker for Mac, which is signed. I understand that a lot of free projects can't (or don't want to - which is also fine) afford a Apple developer certificate. But Kitematic is supported by Docker and advertised as "by Docker" on https://kitematic.com - there should be a signed version available in my opinion.

One reason for example: On my corporate MacBook using Apps not signed with a valid certificate is forbidden for example, so I can't use Kitematic on it. And I guess other companies might have the same requirements as well.

That's no reason to not provide signed versions of Kitematic until the Dashboard reaches feature parity. If they have something new to replace it that is ready to use, I'm fine with switching, but until then, a signed version should be provided.

0.17.10 is also not signed. Latest signed version is 0.17.8.
