For anyone running into the Gatekeeper issue on MacOS: https://github.com/deanishe/alfred-booksearch/issues/4#issuecomment-1280097022 TLDR: Solution: we need to disable gatekeeper for the `alfred-booksearch` binary on the CLI. xattr -d com.apple.quarantine <path> Replace <path> with the location of the binary. The binary is located in the workflow folder.

For those who don't want to disable SIP, and are ok with a little extra work, I'm using the Shortcuts workflow (https://www.alfredapp.com/blog/guides-and-tutorials/macos-shortcuts-with-alfred-workflow/) with a few Shortcuts containing the scenes I most often want when I'm using a workstation or laptop with Alfred. I'd love to see the Alfred team follow on with @foogywoo's note and get homekit access in the app itself so we can have full access via this Homekit workflow. Until then, I'm happy there are workarounds.

Thank you Vitor. I'm sorry for the delay in responding.

My Alfred preferences are not stored on my boot volume. They are stored on a a direct-attached SAS volume that is mounted on login (it is APFS encrypted - but previously HFS journaled, encrypted with the same behaviour). Despite this, Alfred will not load my preferences if it is setup to start on login. I must quit Alfred and re-open it for the preferences to be read/respected. The easiest telltale is that when my system starts/reboots Alfred shows the default grey, rounded, fat-border theme, and my preferences indicate the Frosty Teal theme; also my workflows don't work until Alfred is restarted because they're all loaded with my preferences. I'm on 10.13.6 and alfred 3.6.2 (922), the volumes are on a DAS SAS disk set. This has never worked - IE it's been at least a year or two, but I decided it's time to report it. I believe Alfred should wait for drives/volumes to finish mounting on login before attempting to load preferences, or at least check to see if the preferences are available or maybe even keep some kind of shadow/cached copy in the user's library folder?

Is there any change of getting this on Packal? (I don't mind helping if there are no objections and it's just a matter of time/availability).

I love this workflow! I am having a minor issue though; it seems to have collected phone numbers that don't match "mobile" on their "card" or contact entry. The person I use most often, for example, has both a "work" and a "mobile" number. However, when I "im xuser" it shows "xuser mobile:[work number]." This is, murphy's law being what it is, of course my single most used iMessages contact. Just thought I would bring it to your attention.
