Same issue, app works fine once compiled manually with the commands in the v4.1.0 issue

Check whether the file is quarantined by GateKeeper. This can be done with

ls -l@ ./BloodHound.app

if you see the Extended Attribute of 'com.apple.quarantine', you can remove it with:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ./BloodHound.app

Try that and report back?

[chadministratorwastaken]

Great success! Thank you for the solution.

Hey @chadministratorwastaken, This is an OK workaround, but I wouldn't consider the issue fixed. I'm not sure why GateKeeper just says "is damaged" instead of popping the traditional "developer cannot be verified" message, so this should still be looked into. We should probably re-open so it can be tracked and fixed so BloodHound works as designed with minimal friction.

[chadministratorwastaken]

Agreed. I'm suddenly remembering that this was the solution for the same problem in 4.1.0 and that the reason I opened this was to track the recurring issue. Thanks for the reminder.

Is this still an issue with the 4.3 release?

[chadministratorwastaken]

@JonasBK Yes

Great success! Thank you for the solution.

ditto - Great success!!! xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ./BloodHound.app for the win

Not working on M2, workaround is to build locally using npm ci & npm run build
