You have to do that from the recovery console.

OK, me too; so what causes this? Did I do it? How do I fix it? I've been messing with spctl trying to get a Ham Radio app called CHIRP running.

To disable Gatekeeper, Use the command: sudo spctl --global-disable
And to re-enable Gatekeep, type this command in terminal: sudo spct; --global-enable.

the old command spctl --master is no longer supported in mac.

This change was introduced in Mac OS 10.15.7 (last version on Catalina) probably because i was last using it just 1 month back and the spctl manpage had the new guidlines. The global command works perfectly on all versions above OS 10.15.7 till Mac OS Montery 12.2.1 (latest stable version).

Tbh, its much easier to read manpages as i too couldn't find this solution on web!!

  • Man, thank you from the bottom of my heart! I've been looking all over the internet for a solution and couldn't find it. I did everything, search for everything, create, reinstall macos several times, until you saved my life. It worked perfectly. Thank you very much!

  • no.

    I have Catalina 10.15.7, man spctl gives : SYNOPSIS    spctl --assess [-t type] [-] file ...    spctl --master-enable | --master-disable    spctl --enable | --disable | --remove [-t type] [--path path] [--requirement requirement] [--anchor hash] [--hash hash]    spctl --status

    spctl --global-disable gives an error.

  • Kudos to VBabbar! I agree with acamilomt that this isn't common knowledge. And thank you for explaining. Finally I got rid of the annoying pop-up's. Again, a BIG thanks!!! Cheers!
