Pull request for README.md - Fix for damaged app error #15

Closed barrrricade closed 1 year ago

Hey dude, Like your app. Accidentally updated the modded AltTab then dockalttab stopped working. Reinstalled and troubleshoot but modded AltTab error showed AltTab is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash

Can add to README.md: Error: When opening modded alttab AltTab is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash

Cause: signing failed.

Fix: Disable Gatekeeper Steps: Global disable (not recommended): sudo spctl --master-disable

or

Disabling Gatekeeper for one application only: (note: path to modded alttab app) xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/AltTab.app

I was pushing debug builds not knowing it would make bypassing gatekeeper even harder... 😳

It doesn't say it's damaged anymore though, and bypassing is a lot easier, now that I'm pushing release builds again.
