Can't open etcher on latest MacOS

[aethernet]

Hello,

With the new restriction in the latest Macos, it's possible your existing version of Etcher won't run anymore.
The latest version available on GitHub (and https://etcher.balena.io) is signed with a new certificate that should work fine.

Hi there,
I opened Etcher 1.29.21, installed with brew some time ago on Sequoia 15.1 and it was binned automatically by gatekeeper as "malware".

To double check it was not some malicious release, I downloaded manually 1.19.21 from the GitHub releases page, checked the SHA, and indeed it is still flagged as "malware" as the certificate was revoked:

spctl --assess --verbose=4 ~/Downloads/balenaEtcher.app
balenaEtcher.app: CSSMERR_TP_CERT_REVOKED

---

For peace of mind, can you confirm that the old certificate has been explicitly revoked upon issuing the new one?

Same thing happened to me with an older release. Version 1.19.25 appears to work fine on the new MacOS release.

Quoting the error messages, to help people searching the Internet find this

The application “balenaEtcher.app” can’t be opened.
Malware Blocked and Moved to Bin
“balenaEtcher.app” was not opened because it contains malware. This action did not harm your Mac."

This was balenaEtcher 1.18.11 on macOS 15.1.
