Developer cannot be verified

Open mattmccormick opened this issue 3 years ago • 11 comments

Would be nice to be verified so that I don't need to change security settings to install. When opening I get the message "Meld cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified."

It would be great if the installation could be signed. I love to use this program to get me out of git strife :)

Workaround for those who googled here:

System Preferences... - Security and Privacy - General - Click the lock to make changes.

Now you can allow meld to run.

Im aware but that is an anti pattern and better if the installation can be signed.

Hi @queglay. Totally agree. Just temporary solution,which is likely to be permanent. Last commit in this repo was more than year ago. Unfortunately for community.

It is against our corporate policy. :(

Pls provide more specifics: inside there I don't see any meld : after all we have not been able to install it yet. So what changes are you talking about

@javadba this issue relates to installed application. Please do not start off-topic discussion (problem with installation)

This didn't work for me unfortunately. I had to do

xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Meld.app/

This deletes the attribute com.apple.quarantine recursively from the folder /Applications/Meld.app/

When I have applied this command:- xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Meld.app/ Then I got one problem pop-up message like that:- Meld quit unexpectedly. and options-

  1. Reopen
  2. Report
  3. Ignore

Does anyone suggest the correct answer?
