Topic: “qelectrotech.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. MacOS

I just did download the ARM version of qelectrotech (0.100.0 r8131).

Drop it in the application folder.
And....

“qelectrotech.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

This file was downloaded on an unknown date.

If I leave it in the download folder and start it, it ask for access ( like always the first time ) and runs fine.
If I drop it in a subfolder of Application it doesn't run either.

Something wrong with a date?

Running Sonoma.

Doesn't matter with what kind of browser I did downloaded it; because it does works when outside the Applications folder, and I did download the M version.

B.t.w. The other, the intel version, gives the same result.

Did the previous version work for you? Maybe this issue comes from this commit?

I can't tell anything about that, because I did jump from a few versions earlier to the latest version.

OK, so can I come back to this commit if the previous OSX arm64 application has already worked for you?

A previous arm64 did work, but I don't remember which version it was.

Re: “qelectrotech.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. MacOS

I just downloaded the 20 of August version, and it has the same issue as in my opening post.

Directly in the Application folder it gives the App is damaged.
from the Download folder it works fine.
If I put it in another folder, like username/Applications/... and start it from there, then it works.

For now I use an Alias in the Apple Application folder then it works also ( of course ).

Side Note: I use Sonoma, maybe....

You don't have this issue?

Re: “qelectrotech.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. MacOS

Yes, with Safari; but also with FireFox.

Same result. Same action required; placing the app inside my personal User application folder, then created a Alias to the system App folder and then it works.

Not knowing what application settings are set in your code editor, but is there a setting about Application targets? is it properly signed and notarized?
Did you use something like
xcrun altool --notarize-app --primary-bundle-id "org.qelectrotech.app" --username "your-apple-id" --password "your-app-specific-password" --file QElectroTech.dmg
?

Issue with Version 0.100.0 r8390 on macOS ARM 14.7.2

I downloaded the latest version 0.100.0 r8390 for macOS ARM, but now the trick to create an alias to start and run it isn’t working anymore.

This issue has persisted for 8 months, and a neighbor is experiencing the same problem.

Does anyone with all the necessary compiler tools installed have success compiling it to make it work properly on macOS?

Hello rvamerongen,

I have a shortcut on my desktop like aleas and it 's work well... FYI I stayed on the old Sonoma again.

Wow, this seems a major burden and a piece of work to support Apple.  Frankly, I would have stopped supporting the platform at all after all these troubles.  Not a big fan of the company anyway, but charging developers to allow users running their software is just... rude!  In the early computer days, some hardware vendors had a market advantage because they made it easy for software developers to write programs for their platform.  Somehow for a company of Apple's size, these economic mechanisms don't work anymore.  Except if people start sabotaging this madness and just stay away from Apple, especially those people putting in their volunteer work to publish open source software.

Enough ranting...  I didn't understand everything in this thread, unfortunately, since my French is very rudimentary. I'd be happy if more posts could stick to English language, as it's more accessible to the rest of the world ;-)

To be clear, if no one wants to help but just grumble, I'll stop making macOS packages, plus it costs me €100 out of my pocket every year.. just for signed and notarized.

I don't blame anyone. I know nothing about qts. Just notifications, remarks and questions.
You wrote about github macos script. Can you show me where it is?
I will go back to the previous version or use the latest intel version.
Just curious why the intel version works fine and the Arm version not.
