I run macOS 13.6 Ventura on two Macs. Final week I could not run a printer driver installer on one in every of them as a result of the installer file was not notarized. I put in the motive force anyway with right-click open, as a result of it was the identical file I already used for the opposite Mac a while in the past (residing on a shared drive).
However the habits continued: I can not set up a single app on the problematic Mac regardless the place it comes from (outdoors the App Retailer). I attempted it with recognized notarized apps which set up positive on one Mac, however not on the opposite.
spctl offers completely different data when run on the 2 Mac for equivalent recordsdata. Instance for problematic Mac:
spctl -a -vvv -t set up Installer for OSX.pkg
Installer for OSX.pkg: rejected
supply=Unnotarized Developer ID
origin=Developer ID Installer: OKI ELECTRIC INDUSTRY COMPANY,LIMITED (U38264BY54)
Fantastic Mac:
spctl -a -vvv -t set up Installer for OSX.pkg
Installer for OSX.pkg: accepted
supply=Notarized Developer ID
origin=Developer ID Installer: OKI ELECTRIC INDUSTRY COMPANY,LIMITED (U38264BY54)
After I obtain an App from eclecticlight.co (Howard Oakley is aware of the right way to notarize apps… 😉 and open it, for instance, my positive Mac asks me that it’s from the Web and it has not discovered any malware, accurately. My problematic Mac says it can not seek for malware.
One the problematic Mac I additionally had bother with corrupted keychains (after the problems with putting in started). For instance, Xcode could not discover my signing certificates, the non-public key was lacking and I needed to copy the keychain databases from the opposite Mac as a result of Keychain Entry all the time stated my keychain was invalid once I tried to situation a certificates signing request. I have no idea if that is associated.
I attempted sudo spctl --reset-default and sudo cp /var/db/.SystemPolicy-default /var/db/SystemPolicy in case something is corrupted, nevertheless it didn’t assist.
How can I get my Mac to acknowledge the peerlessly positive, notarized apps?
