Kitematic: [macOS] identity of developer cannot be confirmed

[aduermael]

I'm getting that message when opening Kitematic on a Mac. I guess that's because the app is not signed correctly.

Installing Kitematic from Docker for Mac is hard:

• select "Kitematic" in the menu
• a popup invites you to download it and place it in /Applications directory
• if you retry you see that error message, without the "open" button
• you need to right click on Kitematic in /Applications to see it
• after doing this, it will finally work from Docker for Mac menu

I don't think we had that issue when we released Docker for Mac... Has anything been changed in Kitematic's release process since then?

I think that shows up no matter what, if the app isn't downloaded from the app store. If you know of a better way to do this, I'm all ears; the release process/signing for Kitematic hasn't changed in a while.

@FrenchBen, I don't think that is true. As long as you've got a Developer ID cert you should be able to sign the app and distribute as is without seeing this warning. Whether or not there is currently a Developer ID to use is another story.

See Distribution guide and Apple Developer ID

@WilsonGiese I was thinking of the different pop-up - The application was repackaged to prevent the above screenshot from happening.

this is permission when you install app not have authentic. you could use teminal with comand line as below for fix

sudo spctl --master-disable
