testing, unsigned release

Installing an unsigned build on another Mac

  1. Download and unzip Adminer Desktop.zip.
  2. Move Adminer Desktop.app into /Applications.
  3. Clear the quarantine flag:
    xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Adminer Desktop.app"
  4. Open it normally — double-click, Spotlight, whatever.

Without the terminal

  1. Double-click the app and let macOS block it.
  2. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security.
  3. Scroll down to the message about the blocked app, click Open Anyway.
  4. 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
