Bug or intentional? macOS 15.1 completely removes ability to launch unsigned applications

That's an older version, 20231214, and it too has an expired certificate.

The version 20231214 (6) from https://download.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/hdhomerun_mac_20231214.dmg
has a valid certificate.

I'm running version 20240708, installed via the App Store last July, and the certificate expired last August.

The AppStore version 20240708 (11) has an expired certificate, but works in Sequoia 15.1.

Now I'm wondering if Sequoia will complain about unsigned binaries (as opposed to app bundles).

We've been able to work around the unsigned bundle issue by running the binaries directly... at least for now.

Thanks. I downloaded that dmg this morning and used pkgutil+cpio to extract the the app, and the signature was expired. After seeing your reply, I did the same thing again and the signature is ok. I must've misplaced my mind, temporarily I hope.

Ok in Sonoma too, it's what I run more-or-less daily.

Thanks for that. Some days I produce a lot of throwaway binaries (for reasons) and it would be pain in the arse to have to sign them.
