It's part of an overall trend. For example the gatekeeper security settings ux has slowly been removing options to run unsigned binaries bit by bit.
In 10.12 there is no obvious way on how to run unsigned binaries now. When you double click on an app multiple times, it refuses to run. If you go to security settings you cannot run the unsigned binary from there. You have to right click on the app and press open to get the old dialog that would allow you to run an unsigned binary like it's some sort of easter egg. In older versions you didn't have these restrictions.
- eridius 9y agoRight-click an app and select Open is always how you've been able to bypass Gatekeeper to run unsigned binaries. That hasn't changed. AFAIK the only thing that's changed since Gatekeeper was introduced was the Security preferences lost the option to allow unsigned apps.
- TillE 9y agoI've run several unsigned apps on Sierra and previous versions with Gatekeeper, and not once have I right-clicked an app to do it.
- eridius 9y agoDid you ever configure Gatekeeper in Security settings to allow for unsigned apps? It's plausible that updating to Sierra would preserve that setting, though I haven't tried (as I never configured my system that way).
