Able Archer Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Error when running CMCW Mac v100 Installer.pkg: "CMCW Mac v100 Installer.pkg can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software" MacOS 11.2.3 I guess the workaround is to change security settings https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202491 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultradave Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 This is always true of every CM download. Go to System Preferences and tell it to "Open Anyway". You should get another window with two choices "Open" or "Cancel" Cancel is the default so be sure to click on Open Or, another way is to right click on the Installer/game icon and select Open. That bypasses this first warning. You'll then at some point (after it churns a bit) get the Open or Cancel dialog. This is only the first time. After that it will always start right up.

Able Archer Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 yeah, got it working. But it's annoying, and bypassing security features doesn't feel right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BF doesn't go for Apple's approved developer status (or whatever it's called). Steve I believe has said it's too cumbersome. This isn't the only software I have that is like this. Typically very small developers or one man shops (some of the others of mine are astronomy apps) who interact very directly with their community, so trustable.

I had this issue with a lot of small developers of sound plugins. But one after another they bite the bullet and get credentials recently. Maybe Apple made it easier? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultradave Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 No idea. It’s a question for Steve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freyberg Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 This is an old Apple problem - they make it difficult to install software unless it's from one of their 'preferred' developers. Presumably they expect to be paid a backhander by the developer... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda terrifying watching a missile fly towards a piece of armor and knowing you can't do squat about the final outcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
