Gosh darnit macOS 26 keeps trashing an app that we developed internally for productivity because suddenly it decided that our app "contains Malware". We built it ourselves and have been using it for 5 years. I even did "xattr -d com.apple.quarantine", and overrode system security settings to allow applications from "Anywhere". Still trashed every time.
Let us run our computers that we paid money to purchase, with software that we paid our own staff to develop. Why is this a problem now?

Last I checked, I'm not a subject in the Holy Cupertino Empire.

@chunshek@prettyaweso.me perhaps some of what has been piled on top of BSD is not helpful? Operating systems are available that declare all their code. However, surely having bought a different one all yo7 need do is ask the provider to explain and adjust it?

@chunshek@prettyaweso.me Is the xattr ‘-r’ command line switch (to recurse the directory tree below the starting point) superfluous now? I noticed a while back that Sonoma no longer recognizes it.
