Codesign on macOS #5235

Open jmarrec opened 2 months ago

jmarrec commented 2 months ago

Enhancement Request

Our macOS installer is not signed. Currently that means you need to open the .dmg, and right click + open to circumvent the "cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified"

Seems like the upcoming (fall 2024) macOS Sequoia would disallow overriding with right click > Open if not signed: https://9to5mac.com/2024/08/06/macos-sequoia-makes-it-harder-to-run-apps-that-dont-follow-apples-security-rules/

You'll have to specifically go to the System Settings > Privacy & Security to review security information for software before allowing it to run, meaning the Openstudio IFW installer will be harder to install.

Possible Implementation

Implement macOS codesigning & notarization
