Application Appears Damaged


This occurs because the application isn't signed by Apple (which requires a $99/year developer fee).

Solutions:

  1. For Mac Users Installing PakePlus:
    If you see the "App is Damaged" warning during installation:

    • Click "Cancel"
    • Run this command in Terminal, then reopen the app:
    sh
    sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/PakePlus.app
  2. For Developers Packaging Apps:
    If your users encounter the warning:

    • Instruct them to click "Cancel"
    • Have them run this command (replacing YourAppName.app):
    sh
    sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/YourAppName.app

Note: These commands remove macOS's quarantine flag, allowing unsigned apps to run. Image paths updated to ../../static.
