"stripe" cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.

Issue

Downloading and running the macOS binary from https://github.com/stripe/stripe-cli/releases results in the prompt: "stripe" cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.

Expected Behavior

If the developer is expected to work around this (for example by right clicking -> Open... and accepting the prompt) it would be good to have that in the docs.

Environment

macOS Catalina, no homebrew

Thanks for the report @bdon. It seems unlikely we'll be able to sign the executable to be compliant with Catalina's new requirements, so we should probably update the docs as you suggested.

I was looking at this briefly, it seems like it'll be non-trivial for us to get a binary signed given our current build pipeline. It would be nice if we could do it but it doesn't look like it's easily for us to support.

I agree with updating the docs for now. Let's keep an eye out for this to see if it increasingly becomes a problem or if we can support this without significantly changing our build pipeline.

For those that land here check this link out 👉🏻 https://www.lifewire.com/fix-developer-cannot-be-verified-error-5183898 Do the steps from the page and next time when you run stripe you'll be prompted with an "Open" button.

Just Ctrl+Click the exec and select "open". You can then use it by (assuming it's in your home directory) ./stripe login.

Alias it so it's available in your terminal.
