We are experiencing a problem with flash projector .app executables that we build. When the app is downloaded from the internet on OSX sierra the message "XXX can't be opened. You should move it to trash." is thrown.
Clicking on the help icon next to it additionally displays the info:
The app’s authorization has been revoked There may be a problem with
this app. Although the app was signed by an identified developer, the
certificate for the app has been revoked, and it cannot be opened.
The same app copied through a pen drive works fine. The same app downloaded over internet in other OSX versions runs fine.
We have tried options like Settings>Security > allow apps downloaded from: Anywhere in the OSX Gatekeeper settings. The application being a app published by Flash CS6 is not something that we sign ourselves. I have also read elsewhere that the Flash Player certificate was revoked by apple earlier due to a breach. But updating the Flash software with latest patches has not made a difference.
Has anyone else experienced this issue. Any workarounds/advise?
Thanks!
