BYPASS Mac Security || sudo code?

[Chazrox]

What is that pseudo code we can use to temporarily bypass mac security to allow all unidentified plugins work?

@Chazrox If it's for testing on your own system you can apply an ad-hoc code signature.

codesign --force --deep --sign - /path/to/YourPlugin.component

If it's for someone else's system I think there is a command they can run to bypass gate keeper - Aaron Venture posted it a while back, I can't remember it but a forum search or chat gpt might help.

@d-healey everything usually works automatically on my own system. Im testing at a friends studio at the moment and we're trying to get this to test. I remember it being some 'sudo' something...
I cant find it just yet.

We got it to show up but crashes daw instantly. Does that sound typical of being unsigned? or something in my script?

[d.healey]

@Chazrox That sounds like a bug in your plugin.

[Chazrox]

@d-healey thing is, this same export works on 2 other computers with the same setup. Mac/Ableton.

I think it has something to do with the process of trying to bypass the security.

If anything comes to mind i'll take it. Im trying to work it out still.

I figured it out before but cant remember exactly what it was. I'll def let you know if I get it again and I'll post it here for future reference.

What makes you think that?

[Chazrox]

@d-healey this same plugin works on the first 2 comps. But its like we got it to work on accident both times so I cant deduce the process lol.

@Chazrox xattr -cr pathToPlugin

[Chazrox]

@aaronventure Thank you

What is the difference between that and

this:
sudo spctl --master-disable

?

[d.healey]

@Chazrox
xattr -cr pathToPlugin Removes the quarantine flag from the plugin.
sudo spctl --master-disable Takes a sledgehammer approach and disables gatekeeper entirely.

@d-healey noted! Thank You!
