Hello,

I have developed an application and packaged in with captive runtime on Mac.

Whenevr I try to run the .app file on OS 10.9 I get the message:

"application name" can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.

Any solution to this without having to change system settings?

Thanks

Development

You can right-click or control-click on the application and select Open from there. Then you’re given the option to open the app even though it’s from an unknown developer.

yes, but that would be a bit weird. I mean not being able to double click the app directly, is there a reason/fix for it?

I developed a couple of AIR apps for a client with a code-signing certificate from Thawte and it always installed just fine in the past. After upgrading my Mac OS X to version 10.9 (with Adobe CC and Adobe AIR runtime previously installed), however, I am also getting the 'Unidenfied Developer' message on one of the apps. Is anyone else experiencing this on Mac OS X 10.9? Other operating systems install the app fine.

I thought the new restriction wasn't just that you used any full certificate, but that you at least had to use the new DeveloperID certificate system from Apple:
