Fix Mac Apps - Security Error

mac.sh

# Add this function to your shell profile (e.g., ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc)

fix_app() {
  if [ -z "$1" ]; then
    echo "Usage: fix_app <FullPathToApp>"
    return 1
  fi

  APP_PATH="$1"

  if [ ! -d "$APP_PATH" ]; then
    echo "Error: $APP_PATH does not exist."
    return 1
  fi

  # Clear extended attributes
  xattr -c "$APP_PATH"

  # Force re-sign with an ad-hoc signature
  codesign --force --sign - "$APP_PATH"

  echo "Successfully fixed codesign and attributes for $APP_PATH"
}

# Example usage after sourcing your profile:
# fix_app "/Applications/app_name.app"

If you don't want to add it to .zshrc or anything, Just copy this code to your terminal and hit enter.

Then use fix_app <your_app_path> and everything would be ok.
