Apple Malware Detection issue with latest (v0.13) release binary (False-Positive?) #8

Open CommanderPho opened 3 years ago

CommanderPho commented 3 years ago

Upon downloading the latest release (0.13), unzipping it, dragging it to the Applications folder, and attempting to execute it, the following dialog is displayed:

"“Swift Initializer Generator” will damage your computer. You should move it to the Trash."

A screenshot is attached:

The severity of the message (will damage your computer) led to me not attempting to further use the software, but I suspect that the software is legitimate and this is a false positive in the Apple Malware detection system. Note that this is not a simple unsigned-software Gatekeeper issue, it's more severe.

I'm running macOS Catalina 10.15.5 and Gatekeeper is configured to allow software from anywhere.

There is also other legitimate software now being flagged like this. Will file a radar.
