| Running miniVMac on macOS Sequoia |
Posted by: Snial on 2024-11-13 11:39:42
Now that I've upgraded my MacBook Air M2 to macOS Sequoia, just for the login screen you understand ;-) I wanted to run the native version Mini vMac, but Apple have made it harder to run unsigned apps. You can circumvent it by first trying to run the app; then hitting (Cancel) then going into terminal and typing:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/app
It's easier mostly just to drag the app from the Finder window to the command line to get the full path. In my case:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Emulators/MiniVMac/Mini\ vMac.app
I didn't work it out myself, I got it from here:

Thank you! I really don't like this trend in macOS and wish there was a general "I know what I'm doing"-setting, but at least there are (increasingly tedious) workarounds |

Can't any of this stuff be disabled system wide?
I know that Gatekeeper could be more or less in older versions of MacOS. Is that still true?

Can't any of this stuff be disabled system wide? it might be possible, but I didn't want a blanket approach, because you could always use the method for every unsigned app you have even if it's laborious; whereas a blanket approach might not suit some members - because they might be concerned about future, dodgy apps they accidentally installed. |

Cant you just right-click on it, select open, and then it will ask you if you are sure that you want to open it? |
