Rocket.chat.electron: Unidentified Developer on Mac 10.15

[nghtstr]

My Setup

• Operating System: Mac OS 10.15 PB1 (Catalina Public Beta 1)
• App Version: 2.15.3
• Installation type: App Store

• [X] I have tested with the latest version
• [X] I can simulate the issue easily

Description

Every time I try to launch the application, it is saying it is from an unidentified developer, and then throws up a Javascript error that does not go away. I have uninstalled and re-installed it multiple times.

Current Behavior

Pictures tell the whole story
When I open it (either by Double Clicking, Right-Click->Open, or Open from App Store):

Then it does this weird error that cannot be removed (probably because it does not have access rights):

Expected Behavior

Launch the application

Is there a workaround?

Are you already working on getting it notarized? Catalina launch will be very soon.

[nghtstr]

I am confused. You have the app in the Mac App Store already. I don't see how this would be at all difficult to handle.

i found a workaround, for now download the app directly from the website instead installing from the app store

[nghtstr]

@lazyants, worked like a charm!

[gcommit]

i think this is still not resolved, isn't it? I had to download the app once more from the website, because the one from the app store doesn't work anymore.

[abroadwin]

Confirmed, a fresh download from the app store still fails with this error.

Downloading directly from the site, works on current version of MacOS Catalina 10.15 (19A583)

My temporary solution:

sudo xattr -cr /Applications/Rocket.Chat.app
sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/Rocket.Chat.app
