Re: Upcoming issues running programs on MacOS not downloaded from the Apple App Store


 

After seeing this posting, watching all of the first video and most of the second video, and reading various websites' comments sections, I have come to the conclusion that, I will just take a wait-and-see approach until I actually install 15.1 on my Mac. I tend to agree with several comments that, pointing to the text of the pop-up, this may indeed be a bug (with workarounds). I mean, how hard would it be to have the actual .app name show in the pop-up and not "null?"
?
Apparently *some* people are installing macOS 15.1 and they are getting the pop-up messages with "sideloaded" (/eyeroll) programs while others are *not* getting the pop-up message with "sideloaded" (another /eyeroll) programs.
?
It also appears people are running into this by clicking the Launchpad icon or double-clicking the icon in the Application folder. Nothing I read or saw said anything about running from the CLI. If I have to, I'll make an AppleScript to start the program I need. I did it with the latest version of Fldigi and the 43-click microphone issue.
?
Out of the 19 programs I've installed on my Mac since I re-imaged a couple of weeks ago, one program was installed from Apple's App Store. One of the programs I installed (not from the App Store) is CrossOver so I can run VARA-HF on my Mac with Pat - oh, I forgot about Pat... Make that 20 programs installed...
