Apologies for misreading you, I'm just frustrated and accepted the fact that it is by design.
I been reading other comments and as someone (xrisk) pointed out that it is Homebrew Casks which it made sense since all of the gatekeeper alerts is coming from 'Cask-ed' apps. I could disable Gatekeeper but I rather not because MacOS is not my daily driver. I rather to keep Gatekeeper active to protect itself from moronic me.
- vlovich123 5y agoIs it possible you do this on a corp machine that has Google's Santa running & it's just a language precision issue? Google Santa will definitely prompt on nearly everything & is extremely annoying for Homebrew. Google Santa != Gatekeeper though.
- setr 5y agoProbably the simplest thing then would be to alias brew install to something like spctl —master-disable; brew install $1; spctl —master-enable
- Wowfunhappy 5y ago`spctl --master-disable` requires root permissions (sudo). You could edit sudoers so the command doesn't require a password. But really, at that point I'd just leave Gatekeeper off.
- kstrauser 5y agoThat's OK. If I were in your boat, I'd probably be pretty frustrated. Does the method of right-clicking on an app, then "Open", in Finder work to tell Gatekeeper to quit complaining?
- btilly 5y agoGiven how ubiquitous your problem is, I would be suspicious that security alerts are going off because you have a real security problem. I've seen similar problems when a piece of malware keeps trying to inject itself into various things, and Gatekeeper is catching it. The variety of places where you're getting alerts is a testament to the persistence of the malware, and not the fact that everything is actually broken.
