Hello

 

I'm trying to use Alfred with a corporate macbook laptop, they don't allow me to disable the gatekeeper and because Alfred apps is not signed by apple i'm facing some difficulty to use it, for example I can not open Alfred preference nor Alfred Text Service (I have to do several steps to use them in every reboot!)

 

Any suggestion?

You don’t need to disable Gatekeeper to run unsigned apps. You need only right click the app and pick “Open”. That is only required once. Perhaps corporate also found a way to disable that, but I doubt it.

 

Either way, Alfred is indeed validly signed. Perhaps the “Alfred Text Service” in particular isn’t, and if not, I bet there’s a good reason for it (that @Andrew is the one with the knowledge to answer).

 

Did you download Alfred from the official website?

Alfred and all components are specifically signed, so you shouldn't be seeing this error message. I can verify the signature of Alfred Text Service as follows:

preppeller$ codesign -dvvv /Applications/Alfred\ 3.app/Contents/Services/Alfred\ Text\ Service.app/

As with @vitor, did you download this from our website? Perhaps try downloading the dmg and installing again?

 

Also, have you installed anything which may have broken Apple's Root CA?
