First off, I have read this article.
I am trying to run a downloaded application that I use to control my CNC mill called PlanetCNCMacOS.app. Thy application is obviously not signed correctly.
How can I whitelist this application? They (PlanetCNC) want me to disable the security which I am hesitant to do (via spctl --master-disable). I should be able to whitelist a single application without removing the protection.
Thanks,
Jon
When you get the dialog that you initially displayed, leave it open, and then visit System Preferences : Security & Privacy : General. The name of your application that it wouldn't open should be listed in the following location:
Just click Open Anyway, and then you can launch it normally thereafter.
Maybe the app is 32 bit. Catalina won't run 32 bit apps.
If it is a 32 -bit app will not run on Catalina
With the release of macOS 10.15 Catalina, applications will have to be 64-bit. App developers will issue updated apps if they want their apps to work on this newest macOS upgrade
32-bit app compatibility with macOS ... - Apple Support
Folks-- Here are the instructions they give for Catalina. I am just hesitant to turn off the protections on everything. There MUST be a way to add an exception rather than turning it off.
Note I tried:
spctl --add ./PlanetCNCMacOS.app; spctl --enable ./PlanetCNCMacOS.app
No affect.
sudo spctl -a ./PlanetCNCMacOS.app
./PlanetCNCMacOS.app: rejected (the code is valid but does not seem to be an app)
Iike I said, I read that article-- I am not given that option in Security & Privacy
Tried that already -- same results (that is what used to work prior to Catalina).
It is 64-bits.
I solved it... There was something wrong with the permissions. I just chmod -R 777 PlanetCNCMacOS.app and it worked.
How can I whitelist a downloaded application for execution?
