Reply to Issues with Notarization and Stapling
the other strange thing for me is that when I try to copy the stapled pkg to my home m3 mac (where stapling is not working) via airdrop or telegram, I get strange results: trying to run this pkg resulting in a window with: "VIVIDTIME.pkg" Not Opened Apple could not verify "VIVIDTIME.pkg" is free of malware that may harm you Mac or compomise your privacy. With Done and Move to Trash buttons checking this copied .pkg is showing something strange: xcrun stapler validate -v "dist/stapled/VIVIDTIME 2.pkg" Processing: /Users/innrvoice/Documents/GitHub/vividtime-macos/app/electron/dist/stapled/VIVIDTIME 2.pkg Properties are { NSURLIsDirectoryKey = 0; NSURLIsPackageKey = 0; NSURLIsSymbolicLinkKey = 0; NSURLLocalizedTypeDescriptionKey = "Installer flat package"; NSURLTypeIdentifierKey = "com.apple.installer-package-archive"; "_NSURLIsApplicationKey" = 0; } Sig Type is RSA. Length is 3 Sig Type is CMS. Length is 3 Package VIVIDTIME 2.pkg uses a checksum of size 20 Terminator Trailer size must be 0, not 2283 {magic: t8lr, version: 1, type: 2, length: 2283} Found expected ticket at 210507512 with length of 2283 I tried 2 times. Everytime I checked on my M1 Mac and it always says "The validate action worked!" now. But after copying via airdrop or telegram to my m3 home mac, I get the results I described above. I do not understand what is happening and what I am doing wrong. Can you please help with this too?

Hello, Quinn! I finally managed to solve this puzzle, all thanks to you. All I did is that I found 2 certificates (Apple Root CA - G2 and Apple Root CA - G3) with overridden defaults for trust settings. I think sometime in the past I changed the trust setting for those 2 certificates to "Always Trust" for some reason I can't even remember. All I did is change those settings back to Use System Defaults. Now stapling works all the time. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for guiding me through this maze!
