mglMetal doesn't open a screen #58

Closed jiwonyeon closed 1 year ago

jiwonyeon commented 2 years ago

The machine I've tested is on Monterey 12.3.1 (iMac; Balvanie). When I downloaded mglMetal and tried to open a screen, the computer recognized MGL as malicious software and did not open a screen. Basically it seems. like it recognized all files with "mexmaci.64" extension as malicious, and even though I asked it to open it anyway it failed to open since there are multiple files with the same extension. I'm attaching an example screen shot of the issue.

Huh, I don't think we encounter this issue when downloading via git so I wonder if Safari flags the download somehow.

I'm not sure we can address this as a coding issue, it seems inherent with the way we distribute binaries as part of MGL, and the way macOS is trying to be tighter about security (generally a good idea!).

We might need to address this as a sys admin issue, perhaps along the lines of this blog post.

Seems to work by disabling gate-keeper. Though this is probably not super-ideal either. Ben, can you sign the mglMetal app and compiled functions using XCode: https://developer.apple.com/developer-id/ (might still need to get them "notarized", but this seems like a step we may need to do to avoid this issue...

Closing this as it hasn't been happening recently, so seems resolved if you use git clone to get the repo.
