How to get around Required "open" of MY OWN Automator Apps EACH time ... AGAIN!?
Will try to remain calm, but I am at my wits end with Apple right now.
Backstory, when Apple released Yosemite they started giving nag notices for all apps that aren't from the App Store. Fine. Security is good. But it also was happening from the little 2-step Automator applications I created to run the automation for my community's nonprofit radio station. Making hours of work for me as I had to either say up until wee hours of morning to click on the "open" button when the calendar events were scheduled to open Smart Playlists I created.
I thought that was behind me. Then this morning I screen shared in (more on that) and saw a notice that a restart had paused because a user was connected. I have periodic restarts set up to help with other mysterious bugs that appear to be fixed by restarting. Only I was greeted with install. I had not clicked on install in App Store or anywhere else so this surprised me. When the install completed I couldn't screen share in. So I had to drive to the studio. What I found was ALL of my sharing settings were now unchecked!
Anyway, now I am back to where I was months ago with Yosemite. I am required to click "OPEN" each time a calendar event tries to open one of the automator scripts (all they do is choose a smart playlist and then play it!).
I am not a programmer, and neither are any of the volunteers at the studio. Do I need to code sign these little apps so I don't have repeats of this with every OS update?
If you got through that here is a little more detail.
I create Automator Applications which Get Specified iTunes Item (smart playlists I created) and then Play Playlist. Those are saved as Applications in the Applications folder. Then I create a calendar event, and using the custom alerts to open the application I created. This is how my radio station rebroadcasts show.
It doesn't matter what preference I use in Security Settings of System Preferences. Even turning off the safety net results in the same thing.
I have asked this question here previously and have not had a solution, so dazzle me!
