[GR-49896] GraalVM not (yet) notarized for macOS Catalina

[fniephaus]

GraalVM should eventually be notarized for macOS. I'm not sure if published releases can be notarized in retrospect, but that'd be great too.

In the meantime, sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/graalvm should be enough to get you going on macOS Catalina, no need to disable Gatekeeper.

Hi @fniephaus, I have an error xattr: /xx/xx/graalvm-ce/Contents/Home: No such xattr: com.apple.quarantine when running the command xattr -d com.apple.quarantine $GRAALVM_HOME. Thoughts?

[fniephaus]

@machi1990 you might need to launch GraalVM once...and what if you run it against /xx/xx/graalvm-ce instead of the Home dir?

and what if you run it against /xx/xx/graalvm-ce instead of the Home dir?

With this I am not seeing the previous error but “gu” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified, like the command did not have any effect.

Looks like you actually have to run it recursively against GraalVM's root directory:
xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /xx/xx/graalvm-ce-19.2.0.1

Thanks, this seems to do the trick. Running the command as sudo might be required :-)

[fniephaus]

@machi1990 glad it's working for you now!

[machi1990]

Yeah, I am glad too. Let me update the PR that I just tagged you :-)

Hi, i think i have the same problem. I cannot run the command in Catalina 10.15.2:

bash-3.2$ ./gu install native-image

It returns me this message: cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.

I have tried running
sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine $GRAALVM_HOME

where

bash-3.2$ echo $GRAALVM_HOME
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/graalvm-ce-java8-19.3.0/Contents/

with no luck. I cannot run the command.

I have created a thread in Stackoverflow too.

Help, please

UPDATE

I can create the native image running gu command, now it looks like i have to downgrade GRAALVM to 19.2.1. My question, is why do i have to? Why i can`t use 19.3.0?
