Ugh nvm you've put x64 as for Apple Silicon and h64 for other stuff......
@DecDuck commented on GitHub (Aug 1, 2025):
We unfortunately have not paid for the necessary signing keys from Apple. You can read on how to allow Drop here: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mchleab3a043/mac
@DecDuck commented on GitHub (Aug 1, 2025):
I wouldn't recommend using the x86 version, as they run through Rosetta rather than natively, but up to you. If you can get it work, that's all that matters.
@Lloir commented on GitHub (Aug 1, 2025):
Yeah x86 is the one that works, H64 shows as corrupted :-/
@DecDuck commented on GitHub (Aug 1, 2025):
Yep, seems like aarch64 is broken somehow. Can't get it to launch on my M1 even with Gatekeeper disabled.

For me running
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /path/to/application.appfixed it on 0.2.1-beta, haven't tried it on newer builds@DecDuck commented on GitHub (Aug 1, 2025):
Found the issue, apparently all M1 Mac applications require some sort of certificate, even if it's not from Apple. Am setting it up now.
@DecDuck commented on GitHub (Aug 2, 2025):
Signed macOS downloads will be available for v0.3.2 onwards.
For v0.3.1, you can download the .dmg from here: https://github.com/Drop-OSS/drop-app/releases/tag/v0.3.1-mac

Cant Install 0.3.4 Mac m1 for the same reason
@ArrelHD commented on GitHub (Dec 13, 2025):
Found a workaround.
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine (PathToDMG)after that I could install it.
