beta-v0.1
Pre-release
Pre-release
testing, unsigned release
Installing an unsigned build on another Mac
- Download and unzip Adminer Desktop.zip.
- Move Adminer Desktop.app into /Applications.
- Clear the quarantine flag:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Adminer Desktop.app" - Open it normally — double-click, Spotlight, whatever.
Without the terminal
- Double-click the app and let macOS block it.
- Open System Settings → Privacy & Security.
- Scroll down to the message about the blocked app, click Open Anyway.
- Confirm with Touch ID or password.
Notes
- On macOS 15 and newer, right-click → Open no longer works for unsigned apps. Most guides online still say it does, so people assume the app is broken.
- The xattr command has to run on their Mac, after download — macOS attaches the quarantine flag at download time, so it can't be stripped in advance.
- Apple Silicon only. Intel Macs cannot run this build at all.
- Signing it properly, so none of this is needed, requires a paid Apple Developer account. Maybe in future #1
