Verify ability to install on macOS 10.15 (Catalina) #446

Closed machawk1 closed 3 years ago

machawk1 commented 4 years ago

Beginning with macOS Catalina (10.15), Apple is requiring all software distributed outside of the Mac App Store to be signed and notarized. Software that isn't properly signed or notarized will be shown an error message with the only actionable option being to "Move to Bin". The software cannot be run even from the command-line. The workarounds are painful for users.

via https://github.com/mitchellh/gon , also might be useful for a solution.

Requires first to have a 10.15 test machine. I am sticking with 10.14 on all of my Macs for now but welcome testing by anyone that has upgraded. To test, try to install the software as usual and report the experience.

Per https://github.com/DocNow/hydrator#install :

Since the Hydrator has not been signed (which requires us to pay Apple in order to register as a developer) your initial start up of the Hydrator will be prevented. You can convince OS X to open it anyway by locating the Hydrator app in your Applications folder, control-clicking on it, selecting and then clicking Open (see the screenshot below). From this point on your Hydrator should start normally.
