Apple reporting TidalSwift as malware

[FutureHndrxxx]

Just updated to macOS 11.7.1 and upon reboot I see this:

Suspect this is a false positive, just making you aware.

Ah yes. It is related to the GateKeeper issue mentioned in the README. If the proposed method doesn't work, you can try to execute this is the terminal:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/TidalSwift.app

It tells your Mac to remove the quarantine flag from TidalSwift so it doesn't get blocked by GateKeeper.

If the issue persists, please let me know.

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/TidalSwift.app

It tells your Mac to remove the quarantine flag from TidalSwift so it doesn't get blocked by GateKeeper.

The issue still persists with this command, though it throws a couple more errors

I can send the full error dump if needed

It seems like Apple has hardened Gatekeeper requirements, resulting in Development-signed builds only staying valid for a week, just like on iOS. So the only 2 options are:

• Getting a paid developer membership
• Having each user export the app themselves

Since I don't want to buy membership just for this reason at this time, I'm going to add build instructions to the README.
