macOS Gatekeeper blocks install: 'yume_0.24.0_arm64.pkg cannot be opened'

[alexfosterinvisible]

Issue

On macOS (Apple Silicon, macOS 15.x Sequoia), installing yume_0.24.0_arm64.pkg triggers a Gatekeeper dialog:

"yume_0.24.0_arm64.pkg" Not Opened
Apple could not verify "yume_0.24.0_arm64.pkg" is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy.

Root cause

The package is not notarized by Apple. Gatekeeper blocks unsigned/unnotarized packages by default on macOS 14+.

Workaround

xattr -cr ~/Downloads/yume_0.24.0_arm64.pkg
sudo installer -pkg ~/Downloads/yume_0.24.0_arm64.pkg -target /

Or right-click -> Open in Finder.

Suggestion

Please add Apple notarization to the release pipeline so users can install without CLI workarounds. This is required for smooth distribution outside the App Store on modern macOS.

See: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/notarizing_macos_software_before_distribution

Environment

• macOS: Sequoia (arm64)
• yume version: 0.24.0
• Downloaded from: GitHub Releases

Thank you for the report. Future version 0.25.0 will have Apple notarized MacOS packages. ETA one week.

Apple has been slow with approving the organization. Sorry for the delay.
