GameJolt isn't adding quarantine flag for apps #1383

How are you using Game Jolt? Mac OSX

Please describe the issue you are having After uploading a binary (properly notarized and stapled) release for MacOSX, I am able to run the game just fine if I download it from the site. If I download it from the client, the game will not run. If I then go and drag the game's app file to the desktop it runs just fine. If I drag it BACK to the game's data folder it also runs just fine.

I'm guessing the issue is that game jolt is not marking the downloaded file with the quarantine attribute, which it MUST do to allow running on the machine.

Oh dang, didn't know about that, thanks for the heads up!

I've been testing our mac builds on a 10.13 high sierra, but i never encountered this. Is this Gatekeeper behaviour the default? I'd like to be able to reproduce this so I know i'm fixing this properly :)

High Sierra is like the XP to windows 10, it's completely different in its security model. Are you on discord? I'm a developer on OS X (latest version) and I've done many battles with gatekeeper. I'd be more than happy to help contribute to making sure GameJolt runs smoothly. I'm half-way tempted to do a Mac-specific client if the servers would allow it. I also have a dev account and can contribute apple-blessed executables so people don't have to do the right-click option-open dance to bypass security to run the client. If so, you can message me on discord: Essial#9325.
