Karabiner-elements: Placeholder developer

Created on 5 Oct 2020 · 8Comments · Source: pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements

I've just updated to 13.0.0, and when giving permissions in the system preferences I've noticed that I had to check "Allow extensions by Placeholder Developer".

Placeholder Developer doesn't instil much confidence, and it's not clear what exactly gets enabled.

Thank you!

I confirmed the issue. Unfortunately it seems a macOS issue.
(I guess it happen if the binary is signed with non-team signature.)

I hope the macOS issue will be solved future Catalina release.

It should be ".Karabiner-VirtualHIDDevice-Manager" as follows.

I guess your download binary are damaged.
Did you download the v13.0.0 from official site or software updates?

It prompted me to update this morning. Unfortunately I don't have any screen grabs.

I had the same issue. I updated from the update prompt, and then downloaded from here. Both gave me the Placeholder Developer in System Preferences. I then installed v12.10.0 and it went away.

Would it be appropriate to update the dext-allow.png screenshot to reflect the "Placeholder Developer" wording until the issue is resolved with MacOS?
