New(?) Idea for Standalones

[Dev]

Roger

On your wife’s machine - if you right click the app and choose Open from the context menu, do you get more options about opening?

If you adjust settings in the Security and Privacy System Preferences can you downgrade standards to allow a one time opening?

If neither of these work, then it seems that the player app will need to be notarized and perhaps even stapled. If one of the already certified developers were to make such an app using their credentials, perhaps the rest of us could just download it from their site and play our own stacks with it. 

Interested in anyone else’s thoughts on work arounds to Apple’s security.

I then sent the standalone to my wife’s computer – another Mac running the same OS 11.2. Double-clicking the standalone on her computer, resulted is a simple screen with this message: You do not have permission to open the application “StackOmatic”. “Contact your computer or network administrator for assistance” with a single “OK” button.
