#566

On an M1 Max, can't open once installed, states the program is faulty and needs to be moved to the trash.

Experiencing the same problem when I install the release, however when I run yarn build:mac:arm64 and use the app in the dist, it runs fine.

could be related to code signing?

try running sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/YouTube Music.app"

Thanks @Araxeus 💛

sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/*.app"

This worked for me after experiencing the same error

Well this pretty much confirm that the problem is caused by the "macOS gatekeeper" because the app isn't signed/+notarized

(It works when built locally because the OS recognize that it was built locally and is safe)

The way I see it, either someone will have to pay 100$ (yearly...) for an apple license or all users experiencing this will need to manually fix it with the command above

(Unless they agree to waive the cost because this app is nonprofit, see
https://developer.apple.com/support/membership-fee-waiver/)

try running sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/*.app" (replacing * with the filename)

Might be wise to change the *.app to <app name>.app or YouTube Music.app just so people don't accidentally unquarantine every app they have.

thanks, fixed it

I've never used mac so for some reason I thought it would keep the version attached to its name 😅
