In Issue #28, I asked for simpler orgalorg macOS make experience, and @kovetskiy quickly added darwin to the github workflow releases (thus I can download a darwin binary from github Releases instead of fiddling with make): 🎉

However, I get a warning when I try to run the orgalorg 1.0.1 binary on OSX Catalina:

cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.

There are a couple of points.

Short term, I fixed this by:

  • Trying to run orgalorg from the terminal, which popped up the warning referenced above
  • Then I went to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Allow Anyway Screen Shot 2020-10-14 at 6 20 53 AM
  • When I ran orgalorg again, I got one final info pop-up... afterwards, it runs fine...

Long-term, orgalorg can fix this with an apple developer signing certificate
I'm opening this PR to document the short-term and long-term fixes.
