Apps

Remove quarantine attribute

When you get an error that will prevent you from opening an unsigned app (like "CopyQ.app" cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware.) you need to run from command line:

sudo spctl --master-disable && sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/CopyQ.app && sudo spctl --master-enable

Replace /Applications/CopyQ.app with the app that is reported in the error message.

Bash script which automates the above command: https://gist.github.com/cristianradulescu/5bb29875c8c771e12710e00824c01e74.
