I recently tried creating a custom RustDesk Client for my Mac, and for some reason, the application won't open. I tried signing the app, but it still won't open. I will click the application, but nothing happens. Does anyone have any idea why I am experiencing this issue? It works perfectly fine on Windows, just not MacOS.

I'm not sure about MacOS. My generator signs all the Windows clients, but I do not have a developer license for Apple. It probably won't work to sign the dmg file since the files inside would also need to be signed. There must be some settings to allow unsigned programs to run, but I don't own a MacOS computer to test it with. You can try a separate fork of my generator that will generate signed MacOS clients:

https://creator.nas86.eu/

The creator of that fork uses his Apple developer license to sign the files in the MacOS client. See if that will work for you.

@bryangerlach I just tried using that generator but it keeps saying the generator failed. What should I do?

I guess you can look into running unsigned code. There must be a way to allow unsigned code to run on MacOS. I have no idea.

Hello again I sent the mac version to a friend of mine for testing (because I dont own a mac). He said th file is damaged.
I only see two errors in the last successfull build, could that be the problem?

Same here: I am getting the error that the image is damaged when trying to start it under MacOS. I tried nightly build and 140.
I have also activated that apps are allowed from App Store and known developers, like in the screenshot of @VenimK
So I guess the app is really damaged and not a problem of permissions oder signing.
