Important security notice
This Community Preview is ad-hoc signed and not notarized by Apple. The ad-hoc signature provides code-integrity verification, but it does not establish a trusted publisher identity. Gatekeeper may block the first launch.
Only download this build from the official Playa GitHub release and verify its SHA-256 checksum before opening it.
First launch / Gatekeeper
- Open the DMG and drag Playa.app to
/Applications. - In Finder, open
/Applications. - Control-click Playa and choose Open.
- Confirm Open in the dialog.
- If macOS still blocks the app, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, find the Playa warning, and choose Open Anyway.
A future production build signed with a Developer ID Application certificate and accepted by Apple notarization will support the standard macOS launch flow.
