Fix 'Unknown Developer Error'
Installing software from different resources than the Apple AppStore usually causes a warning similar to the following:
(..) cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified (…)
Using the Finder, this is easy to fix: right-click and open. The following dialog provides a warning but also contains a button to open it nonetheless.
However, sometimes we need to do this from within a shell, e.g. because we installed the tool (which is a commandline tool) using a shell.
The problem is that macOS puts the application or the executable into quarantine. This can be easily fixed with
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine $EXECUTABLE
Please note: This may be related to the Gatekeeper but i do not want to disable it completely
(sudo spctl --master-disable) and adding the executable with spctl --add $EXECUTABLE did not work either: Maybe
this only works for application bundles.
