Description

When opening the packaged macOS app, Gatekeeper shows the following warning:

Apple could not verify “lil agents.app” is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy.

The app cannot be opened normally because it is not notarized/signed correctly for macOS distribution.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Download lil agents.app
  2. Open the app on macOS
  3. Observe Gatekeeper security warning

Actual Result

macOS blocks the app with:

Apple could not verify “lil agents.app” is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy.

Expected Result

The app should open without Gatekeeper warnings after proper code signing and notarization.

Environment

  • OS: macOS
  • App: lil agents.app

Possible Cause

The application bundle is likely:

  • unsigned
  • signed with an invalid certificate
  • or not notarized with Apple
