malicious software on mac

Post by cloudyplain »

hi, when i click YourKit-Java-Profiler-2019.1, an alert window pops up: "YourKit-Java-Profiler-2019.1” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software." so that the app cannot run!

osx: 10.14.5

Thank you for reporting the problem. We are investigating this issue. It is related to app notarization that appeared in last Mojave 10.14.5 update.

Update: we're working on a solution to this problem.

As a workaround, instead of double-clicking the app icon, please right-click it and use "Open" .

The workaround doesn't work for me, also running OSX 10.14.5.

However, I was able to use the CLI to manually execute the profiler binary.

1. Open a terminal
2. Type /Applications/YourKit-Java-Profiler-2019.1.app/Contents/MacOS/profiler
3. Hit enter

The profiler then comes up.

We have just release version 2019.1.133 which should fix problem with Gatekeeper. Please confirm, that all works for you.
