Add macOS Gatekeeper warnings in the installation steps for macOS
Elasticsearch Version
8.13.2
Installed Plugins
No response
Java Version
bundled
OS Version
macOS Sonoma
Problem Description
The issue was reported by a community user in Discuss (c.f https://discuss.elastic.co/t/incomplete-jdk-app-in-the-installation-package-unable-to-start-elasticsearch-macos-x86-64-elasticsearch-8-13-2/357275) and observed in our environment as well.
In https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/targz.html#install-macos, we will need to include a similar content as the macOS Gatekeeper warnings provided in the Kibana documentation page (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/targz.html#install-darwin64)
Steps to Reproduce
c.f above
Logs (if relevant)
No response
Do we understand the cause of this? Is there something we can change in how we package/sign our artifacts to avoid such a thing?
Hi @mark-vieira
Do we understand the cause of this? Is there something we can change in how we package/sign our artifacts to avoid such a thing?
To be honest, I am not entirely sure. I am not familiar with the Apple notarization process and macOS Gatekeeper.
In the meantime (while we assess a possible technical resolution), it will be great to add the important note in our Elasticsearch documentation (with a similar content as what the Kibana team did).
