Can't run NetBeans 16 app on MacOS

[David Gradwell <da...@gradwell.com>]

Hi,

I have tried downloading NetBeans 16 installer for MacOS several times and from the backup site.

The installer works perfectly every time, but when I try to run the app, I consistently get:

[cid:image001.png@01D91631.52B62E60]

“Apache NetBeans 16.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. This file was downloaded on an unknown date.”

When I go to Settings/Privacy & Security/Security I see:

[cid:image002.png@01D91631.BE46F470]

When I go “Open anyway” NetBeans opens OK and runs as expected.

Has anyone else encountered this issue ?

I have experience of the Apple Notarisation process and am happy to help who-ever made the .dmg if they would get in touch.

Regards

David Gradwell

I just got a new MBP and downloaded NB 16 yesterday.  Other than the installer requiring “Rosetta” to be installed in order to proceed, I encountered no problem at all.  NB app works as expected.  I downloaded from the official Apache NB site (pushed the “Download” button on the main web page and then picked the suggested mirror.)

I’m on Ventura 13.1 with an M1 Max MBP and running NB with JDK 17.05.
