[BUG] Cannot add Irvue screen saver in new Mojave install #18

Open megseoh opened 5 years ago

megseoh commented 5 years ago

I'm running Mojave, & when I double click on "Irvue Screensaver.saver" I get the error message:

“Irvue Screensaver.saver” can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

& when I click on the ? in the error message it says:

The app’s authorization has been revoked There may be a problem with this app. Although the app was signed by an identified developer, the certificate for the app has been revoked, and it cannot be opened. Check with the Mac App Store or the software developer to see whether there is an updated version of this app.

Building locally seems to help. See https://github.com/leonspok/Irvue-Screensaver/issues/15#issuecomment-457846093.

You just needs to remove the quarantine attributes on it, which can be done via the command line (xattr -c).

To add to this for noobs like me. Here's what that command does according to https://tldr.sh/

Delete all extended attributes from a given file:
    xattr -c file

You can't run this on the extracted screen saver file as its technically a directory (I think!). Instead run it on the zip file and extract again.

$ xattr -c Irvue.Screensaver.saver.zip

Edit: nvm still won't work with mojave. see screenshot image
