Try this:

• in Applications right-click on Insomnium icon
• ~hold opt (or cmd) button on keyboard and~ click Open

UPD: turns out you don't need cmd/opt button, just clicking Open from the context menu does the trick

You will need to do this only for the first run

I have the same issue. I tried holding cmd + open and it didn't change anything. I also tried "System settings -> Privacy & Security -> Open anyway": ...but i get same error. Maybe my employer are applying extra strict security policies that doesn't allow me to bypass this. Dunno 🤷‍♂️

Aw I see. Thanks for posting! I'm still waiting for my apple developer enrollment and then I can have the app undergoes Apple notarization and there won't need to this a hack around anymore

@archywillhe very nice thank you :)

We could then also add this to homebrew: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/docs/Acceptable-Casks.md

Same, managed Macs do this sometimes

@MB175 What happens when you go to the application install path and then do right click "open" ? I had to do this once to start it.

@elovin

The same issue over and over again, I also face this with vscodium for example. It must have something todo with a profile of my managed Mac, on an unmanaged devices this will obviously work. I dint do any investigation what and why a policy is blocking those

[hamburml]

Same issue here :/

[root0x]

Open system preferences -> Priacy & Security -> scroll down to security -> see where it says insomnum and click open anyway

This will unfortunately no work, since many companies role out profiles to block trusting uncommon signing keys

Thats true but it will help out people trying to install it on their personal machines

For those who are stuck but have the ability to sudo, try this (change the path if you're installing it in another path):

sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Insomnium.app

Then try running it. I've had to do this a few times before on my MDM managed device. Not sure why sometimes "open anyway" works, sometimes right-click -> open works, and sometimes an app has to be removed from quarantine, on the same device w/ the same MDM profile, but there it is.

@archywillhe Is there anything to report on your enrollment? :)

[archywillhe]

Hi guys.. thanks for the wait; been busy with too many stuff & finally sorted this out. the MacOS build should be working without problem now;

I've just rebuilt Insomnium 0.2.3-a.signed.dmg

@nsrosenqvist You can click here to download the signed build

Thanks! (I'm closing this for now; feel free to reopen if anything weird happens)

---

(another new Insomnium build + file-system features are on the way)

[archywillhe]

(oops sorry I accidentally uploaded a build with half-implemented features; reverting it now & and re-uploaded a properly notarized build )

This should work now: https://github.com/ArchGPT/insomnium/releases/download/core%400.2.3-a/Insomnium.Core-0.2.3-a.signed.dmg
