Apple Version

Added 2021-03-24 01:00:51 +0000 UTC

Alright, I finally got time to take a look at the Apple version. It's not good.

chmod doesn't work, 755 or 777 or anything else because it's not a permissions problem at all. It's Gatekeeper.

If you go to Security and Privacy settings, you should be able to see Tie Me Up listed at the bottom in General. You can click Open Anyway to start it. That's about the only way to do it.

Tie Me Up is not notarized, nor has Apple reviewed it as an app in the App Store. I am not an identified developer and my code is not signed. Becoming an Apple developer and getting my certificate is outside the budget (it's $100/year subscription, plus a good $2000 for a decent Apple development box as code signing for Apple on a Windows box might get messy). There simply aren't enough Apple users here to justify the cost.

I am sorry. I can't just bypass Gatekeeper. That simply won't work for a commercial release.

I guess I can keep releasing Apple versions of the tech demo and later on the full demo, but it's not likely I'll be supporting Apple versions for the commercial release. If the release makes enough money, I might support it later on, but don't count on it.

I'm sorry.
