Apple Silicon version doesn't work
- 1.19.2
- macOS 11.3.1
Expected Behavior
I can open Min
Actual Behavior
"Min is damaged, you should move it to the trash"
To Reproduce
- On an M1 mac, download the Apple Silicon version of Min
- Unzip it and try to open it
Encountered this as well. Going to see if the intel version works.
intel version works fine

like "Let them eat cake" This issue is only not work unziped "Min-v1.19.2-darwin-arm64.zip".
In the past, that has gone away if you right click > "open" a second time, and then there should be an "open anyway" option. Does that work for any of you?
Thanks suggest. I try this.

But macOS Big Sur.4.0 say "Min is damaged, you should move it to the trash".
And I try unzip to use The Unarchiver 4.4.3, But this issue didn't change.
I set PreferencePane > Security & Privacy > General > Allow apps downloaded from: as "App Store and identified developers".
I don't think the cause is Gatekeeper. Perhaps compression as failing. please publish in dmg file.
I don't have an Apple developer account (previously because of cost, although I can probably afford it now), so you would need to follow the instructions under "If you want to open an app that hasn’t been notarized or is from an unidentified developer". Does that work?
I'll try to borrow an m1 mac in a few days and see if I can figure this out.

Ok, no problem.

I hope to open dialog.
But not work.
I tried this out on an m1 machine, and it is indeed broken. This worked before, I'm not sure what Apple changed...
Anyway, there's another Electron app here with the same issue: https://github.com/vercel/hyper/issues/5115, and the suggested workaround is do to this:
xattr -rd /path/to/Min
which bypasses Gatekeeper, and allows it to open for me.
Thanks suggest. I tried the next step.
Environment
- MacBook Air Late 2020(Apple M1)
- macOS Big Sur.4.0.
- Mem 16GB
- Strage 512GB
- download Min-v1.19.2-darwin-arm64.zip from https://github.com/minbrowser/min/releases
- kick Terminal.app.
- $ xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine ~/Downloads/Min-v1.19.2-darwin-arm64.zip
- open ~/Downloads folder window on Finder.
- double click Min-v1.19.2-darwin-arm64.zip
- double click Min.app
Yea! HELLO, Min on Apple M1.
I think it good luck charm in Readme.md. Perhaps, This issue is Apple's BUG.
@Chamiu works for me as well!
- download Min-v1.19.2-darwin-arm64.zip from https://github.com/minbrowser/min/releases
- kick Terminal.app.
- $ xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine ~/Downloads/Min-v1.19.2-darwin-arm64.zip)
- open ~/Downloads folder window on Finder.
- double click Min-v1.19.2-darwin-arm64.zip
- double click Min.app
That also works for release 1.20.0-beta-darwin-arm64
. Thanks 👍

Environment
* MacBook Air Late 2020(Apple M1) * macOS Big Sur.4.0. * Mem 16GB * Strage 512GB 1. download Min-v1.19.2-darwin-arm64.zip from https://github.com/minbrowser/min/releases 2. kick Terminal.app. 3. $ xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine ~/Downloads/Min-v1.19.2-darwin-arm64.zip) 4. open ~/Downloads folder window on Finder. 5. double click Min-v1.19.2-darwin-arm64.zip 6. double click Min.app
Yea! HELLO, Min on Apple M1.
I think it good luck charm in Readme.md. Perhaps, This issue is Apple's BUG.
Next steps work well to:
- Download and Install Min
- xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Min.app
- Launch Min
Getting this on a mac mini m1
The idea behind this project is excellent btw, I'm hoping for someone to nail this concept.
@cesarvarela Did you try the steps in the comments above?
There's an interesting theory about this here: https://github.com/archimatetool/archi/issues/555#issuecomment-751228243
If anyone has time and is willing, could you try the following (note: I edited the instructions after originally posting)?
- Clone Min
-
npm install && npm run buildMacArm
- You'll get a binary in
/dist/app/Min-darwin-arm64
. Try opening that and see if you get the "Min is damaged" message. - If you do, run
codesign --display -vv <path to that binary>
and keep a copy of the output. - Then run
codesign --remove-signature <path to binary>
and try launching it again. - See if you still get the "Min is damaged" message.
- If you do, run
codesign -s - -a arm64 -f --deep <path to binary>
and try launching again. - Let me know what happens.
Hey @PalmerAL, when downloading the binary from the min website (and selecting the apple silicon option), I get the "Min is damaged" error.
Interestingly, when building it myself with step 2 from above, the binary does not give me the same error... Let me know if I can help out here in any way.

- Done
- I was able to build (step 2) after adding "--openssl_fips=X"
- Launches normally
- Output:

- Different error: "The application "Min.app" can't be opened"
- Resolves the error and launches
- Done.
Thanks for testing. I've released a new build with the change from step 7, which I think should fix this: https://github.com/minbrowser/min/releases/tag/v1.23.0. If anyone is still having issues with that, please let me know.


I'm not able to run it as well, this is the error message that I got ⬆️
@eliazonta Can you try this:
- Click "show in Finder"
- Right-click > "open"
- If there's an "open anyway" option, click that
- If there's not, close the dialog and right-click > "open" a second time
- See if there's an "open anyway" option now
Does that work?
