Cannot launch an app sucessfully stapled and validated

Hey, when I try to launch my app it prompts me with a "Apple could not verify" popup. The thing is the app has been signed and stapled.

xcrun stapler validate .app for my app returns "The validate action worked!"

If I also run syspolicy_check distribution .app it returns: "App passed all pre-distribution checks and is ready for distribution"

Any idea?

Yeah, that’s tricky. Successfully notarising your app doesn’t guarantee it’ll pass Gatekeeper. Additionally, syspolicy_check isn’t able to diagnose all Gatekeeper issues.

I have a cluster of posts that explain how to investigate this further, all rooted at Resolving Trusted Execution Problems. You can dig through those if you like.

Alternatively, if you can share a link to where I can download your app, I’d be happy to take a look [1].

Note Before posting a link, check out tip 14 in Quinn’s Top Ten DevForums Tips.

If you’re not able to share the app publicly, reply here and let me know and I’ll suggest an alternative path.

Share and Enjoy

[1] The folks working on syspolicy_check are always interested in seeing examples where it fails to diagnose a problem so that they can enhance the tool.
