Or does it only check signatures when you're launching things from the GUI? Yes. If you;re tinkering with Homebre, you are not the target demographic.

- swiley 7y agoSo you could easily install a graphical shell that doesn't check that. heh people probably need to chill out about all this. I got a mechanical engineering student (read: "doesn't understand computers") to play open arena with me the other month dispite all of this. It's just a couple buttons you have to press.

- my123 7y agoThat third option is hidden in the GUI, but can be re-enabled via: sudo spctl --master-disable
- Angostura 7y agoI use quite a few applications that aren't from the App store. I've had 'App store and identified developers' as my default for ever and I've come across, possibly three? unidentified developers in the last three years. It's not a massive inconvenience and to be honest, I welcome the 'Hmmm - its not signed' pause for thought.
