macOS: App blocked by security (Gatekeeper)

On macOS, the app may be blocked because it is not notarized yet.

If you see a message like:

“App can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software”

“Qase.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

Option 1: Open via Finder (recommended)

1. Open Finder
2. Go to the app location
3. Right-click the app
4. Click Open
5. Confirm Open again

macOS will remember this choice.

Option 2: Remove quarantine flag (advanced)

xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Qase.app

Use this only if you trust the build.

CI / CD

This repository uses GitHub Actions to build the app automatically for:

• macOS
• Windows
• Linux

Builds run on every push to main.

Roadmap

• Auto-update support
• macOS code signing and notarization
• Secure secrets injection in CI
• Release automation via GitHub tags
