App can’t be opened #50

Closed zisra closed 2 years ago

I get this error when opening the app: Auto Clicker can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.

Hey! 👋

So this is as I don't have a paid developer account with Apple, I cannot sign the software with them so they can tell macOS everything is fine.

If you follow the steps in the Download section of the README, its very easy to get the app manually approved: https://github.com/othyn/macos-auto-clicker#floppy_disk-download

When first using the app, you will need to right click the app and click 'Open' from within Finder, then on the macOS popup window select 'Open' again to trust this version of the app going forward. This is as at the moment I don't have a paid Apple developer account in order to notarize the app.

That should solve your issue! 😄

Thank you for the clarification. It’s a shame Apple makes developers pay to make their app usable.

It is indeed! One day I'll get one and notarise the app, then all will be well.

Thanks for using the app, enjoy! 😄
