macOS - application isn't signed #338

Closed nol166 closed 3 weeks ago

nol166 commented 1 month ago

Describe the bug Error occurs when opening the application that it may be harmful. Traditional workarounds of right clicking -> open in finder doesn't work either.

It seems like the build wasn't signed or something

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

  1. Download latest release from github Pocket.Sync_5.2.0_universal.dmg
  2. Click on Pocket.Sync_5.2.0_universal.dmg
  3. Drag Pocket Sync to applications
  4. See error

Workaround

For macOS users, open system preferences -> privacy & security -> scroll down to "security"

Near "allow applications from" there will be a message about macOS blocking pocket sync from running. Choose the "open anyway" option from preferences to open the application.

Desktop (please complete the following information): macOS 15.0.1 (24A348)

Apple’ve changed it so now you need to go into settings (the security bit, I think) & approve the app there after trying to open it once.

Very annoying change, I’ll update the README to give directions soon.

(if you can take screenshots while doing it & post them here that’d be loads of help for the README)

Okay no problem

Edit: Went ahead and created a PR #340 to add some steps to the README with images, feel free to use (or not) as you see fit. Let me know if you need additional screenshots.
