LibreELEC.USB-SD.Creator.macOS will not run on MacOS Catalina

ruscat · June 20, 2020 at 6:16 PM

When I try to run LibreELEC.USB-SD.Creator.macOS on MacOS catalina, I get an error that the script can't be run. Even after allowing it in Security settings. What are my other options.

There is also now Raspberry Pi's own image writer, although you may need to update to the latest LE version after that.

This is still a problem apparently one year later. Whats a Mac Op supposed to do?

Dropbox - LibreELEC.USB-SD.Creator.macOS.dmg - Simplify your life

^ I built this for testing the other week with changes to fix things that don't work. Catalina will whinge about the images not being signed by a trusted Apple developer (as I am not one) but once you allow the .dmg to open and the app to run (Control Panel > Security, etc.) it works. I need someone to fix the JSON parsing code (as I don't have the skills to fix that) and then I'll sign up with Apple to sign the binaries and solve all the security warnings.

This is still a problem in January 2022.
This is the error I get:

Actually, there has been some movement the last couple of weeks for putting in fixes for the USB/SD Creator tool, also for iOS.

But for now the ETA for that new version is still unknown.

^ Gatekeeper will complain about it not being signed correctly etc. but this should work. Signing is the next bit we need to fix.
