Issue Type

Before opening an issue, please search and see if it has already been raised.

  • Bug Report

  • Feature Request

  • Successfully reproduced against the latest version of NW.js?

Current/Missing Behavior

Cannot run downloaded nwjs due to macos security concerns. Previously the downloaded nwjs.app could be made to run by right-click on the app and select 'Open' (the first time only, after that it worked by double-clicking)

Expected/Proposed Behavior

I expected to be able to run the downloaded nwjs version by right-clicking nwjs.app and selecting 'Open' as before

Additional Info

Problem is solved by this command (which I have not seen documented on the download page)
sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/nwjs.app

One solution may be to hint this on the download page?

The installation procedure I use is to unzip the downloaded file nwjs-sdk-v0.89.0-osx-arm64, and then copy the nwjs.app from the unzipped folder into /Applications

  • Operating System: Macos Ventura
  • NW.js Version: 0.89 SDK

@pragma-git Added to the wiki's FAQ. Where do you suggest this to be added in the docs?

The app needs to be signed to run (and notarized to distribute via App Store).
