macOS

Since the build depends on the GitHub build infrastructure, you need a quite recent macOS version. This is currently macOS 13 for Intel and macOS 14 for ARM based Macs. It might work down to macOS 11 but I cannot test that.

macOS installation security issues

Macos will complain about different things when you try to run the application:

  1. The application is unsafe to run since it is downloaded from the internet
  2. The application is unsafe to run since it is not signed by Apple

Fixing 1

Note: You might also get alternatively a totally confusing error that the application files are corrupted. This is the same issue.

To fix it open the Terminal app and enter the application folder:

cd /Applications/ConvertWithMoss.app

Then remove the evil flag (Requires your administrator password):

sudo xattr -rc .

Since this seems not to work for everybody, there is another solution:

Temporarily, disable the Gatekeeper with

sudo spctl --master-disable

Open the application (should work now). Close it and enable Gatekeeper again to feel safe...

sudo spctl --master-enable

The application should now run also with Gatekeeper enabled.

Fixing 2

  • Run the application again and click away the error.
  • Now open the system settings and go to Privacy & Security Settings.
  • At the very end, there should now be a message saying something like 'publisher of ConvertWithMoss could not be identified'.
  • Click on the allow anyway button
  • When you start ConvertWithMoss again you need to click away another 1000 dialogs but then it works.

Finally, have fun.
