About If Crashes when opening

Apple removed TNT's certificate, so the app will crash after July 12th. The current solution is to sign it yourself.

Run in Terminal

codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/name.app

Requisite: Xcode or the Apple Command Line Tools
To install, execute

xcode-select --install

in the terminal emulator of your choice, and the macOS GUI will give you the option to install Xcode (from the Mac App Store) or the CLTs. If you install Xcode, launch it at least once to complete the installation and agree to the license.

Alternatively, you can use CodeSigner to sign some apps.

Installation instructions:

downloaded CodeSigner, then mount the DMG volume
Copy CodeSigner.app from the mounted DMG volume into one of your applications paths; recommended: ~/Applications/Utilities/
If you are using macOS Finder or a similar application with Services support as your main file manager, double-click the CodeSigner workflow: a window titled Quick Action Installer will appear asking you if you want to install it; click Install. You can assign a keyboard shortcut to the Quick Action in System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services > Files and Folders > CodeSigner
If you also want the ability to manually run CodeSigner in a terminal emulator—example:
codesigner /Applications/Parallels\ Desktop.app
—copy the codesigner shell script into your $PATH, e.g. /usr/local/bin/
On Mojave please allow CodeSigner to control System Events; this is necessary for GUI prompts to work via AppleScript

What’s new

Version 0.9.3 July 13, 2019

CodeSigner will now grab an application's or file's icon for the notifications
Bug fix: account for terminal-notifier display error in case of filenames with leading double-quotes (thanks to roryokane)
If codesigner doesn't execute as a Platypus app, it will search for terminal-notifier only in the default macOS Applications paths, and in installation directories for Homebrew, MacPorts and Fink (thanks to roryokane)

Is there any update or fix to this, yet? I am having trouble with Logic Pro X 10.4.5 on macOS 12.5

When i try to sign i get error The specified item could not be found in the keychain. How to fix it?

fikriihaikal Mac User April 27, 2020

If your mac on Catalina 10.15.1 and say CleanMyMac X” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software. This software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for more information. type this on your terminal: sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/[your app name].app if have space on their apps name use \. Like this: sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/CleanMyMac\ X.app

fikriihaikal Mac User April 27, 2020

because CleanMyMac X you should use \ between CleanMyMac and X

This won't work at macOS 10.15. Apple activated the enforcement of app notarization in the previous week by telemetry. Any pirate app signed after June cannot be open after that. (The enforcement takes effect only after reboot. ) This is the document about the app notarization : https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/notarizing_your_app_before_distribution I don't find any way to disable the Notarization now. Maybe, cracked app will be stamped out after macOS 10.15.

Cassy Mac User July 18, 2019

Can someone explain to me why this has suddenly started to happen?

ITEGYPT Mac User July 15, 2019

@Amnesia NOT all apps ARE fully working! check: Alfred, clean my mac....etc

Amnesia Mac User July 15, 2019

Ok thanks! I guess I have to revert back to default spotlight and another adblocker until there is a fix!

xsaetia Mac User July 14, 2019

Where do I download the CodeSigner app? I Googled and couldn't find it

xsaetia Mac User July 14, 2019

AH nevermind, appears my ad blocker had blocked the download now button.

jazzluv Mac User July 14, 2019

Hi Nothing is working for me either. None of my apps downloaded from the site work anymore

ITEGYPT Mac User July 14, 2019

@jazzluv @elwoo @jakeypal 1password never worked right for me, it’s safari extension never worked always gave me issues so I end up buying it because I need it to work 100%

ITEGYPT Mac User July 14, 2019

@jazzluv I followed up to the 3rd step, some applications are fixed but I still have lots of applications don’t work 100%

ITEGYPT Mac User July 14, 2019

@JumpinJack Try this version and see if it’s working. https://bit.ly/2XGawTL

elwoo Mac User July 14, 2019

Hey 1password 7.3 and 7.3.1 fully working for me incl. safari extension! :) But now: No cracked working version. You can use original version from official site. Working but can't fill and save your passwords. Only use copy and paste method :D

Amnesia Mac User July 14, 2019

Hi! I tried to reinstall the apps thinking that it might fixed the problem, after ready this post I did code signing as explained above, everything working again except those apps that I have reinstalled and now I getting this error massage: "This file was downloaded on an unknown date." Only occurs with apps that I have reinstalled after the apps started crashing

Frank Mac User July 13, 2019

Hi AppKed! I installed x-code, then run in terminal code sign command. As a result the signature was replaced but still the app continues quitting unexpectedly. After that, downloaded CodeSigner app, copied to the Apps/Utilities recommended folder, then started the app and selected the crashing app and run the re-sign. Re-signing was completed successfully, but as a result the app still does not work. Any suggestion? Thanks.

Frank Mac User July 13, 2019

Hi AppKed! After re-starting the iMac the crashing apps are working now. So far so good... Thank you.

ITEGYPT Mac User July 13, 2019

Frank, I did up to the 3rd step above some are working "rebooted already" but clean my mac x, Alfred 4....etc *clean my mac x open fine but it isn't accepting my password when you want it to clean!? Thanks

FStorm Mac User July 13, 2019

1Password after signing does not work. The app continues quitting unexpectedly.

ITEGYPT Mac User July 13, 2019

@FStorm If you install it over you have to re-sign it again. Is your CleanMyMac X is authenticating your user/pass?

ITEGYPT Mac User July 13, 2019

FYI: For example, If you enter the string below and you hit enter, you an error, just right click and use the CodeSigner app and it will work codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/Downie 3.app /Applications/Downie: No such file or directory

FStorm Mac User July 13, 2019

@ITEGYPT Yes. I deleted the application completely. I installed it again and tried to sign it. Do not work. The restart after the signing did not help either.

JumpinJack Mac User July 13, 2019

Problem with Alfred 4.0.3: CodeSigner works perfectly with the main app (~/Applications/Alfred.app), but then it's impossible to open Alfred Preferences (~/Library/Application Support/Alfred/Alfred.alfredpreferences), and CodeSigner doesn't work with it, probably because it's not effectively an App, but an "alfredpreferences" file and I don't know what to do to solve this!

tsnre Mac User July 13, 2019

Go to 1Password Download …there you can read what you have to do.

jakeypal Mac User July 13, 2019

Codesigning does not help 1Password 7.3.1. It still crashes. I cannot even re-install it: the installation does not finish (((. Total fail

ninjavasile Mac User July 13, 2019

Same here. None of the provided steps are working :(

elwoo Mac User July 13, 2019

Hey guys i need a working 1password :(

JumpinJack Mac User July 13, 2019

Sorry, I was wrong, Alfred Preferences.app is inside Alfred.app, precisely: /Applications/Alfred 4.app/Contents/Preferences/Alfred Preferences.app and obviously CodeSigner worked perfectly with it, so thank you very much!!
