Xcode App Export flagged as malware on other user's mac

I'm trying to get some people to test my application, but when they attempt to open it, it says "Malware blocked and moved to bin". Attempting to open it on my mac has no issues, but on theirs it will get flagged.

Are there any solutions? I think this is to do with the signature, however this could be wrong.

I am sending a direct archive through iMessage in a zip file.

ok the certificate was revoked and replaced somehow so just make a new certificate and that will fix it.

My reading of your post is that:

  1. You have an Xcode project that builds a Mac app.

  2. You do a Product > Archive.

  3. In the Xcode organiser, you click Distribute App.

  4. You give the resulting app to other folks.

  5. Gatekeeper prevents the app from running on their Mac.

Is that right?

If so, what workflow did you follow in step 3?

Yes, all of those steps are accurate, For the workflow in step 3

I would press the distribute app button, custom, export app, select a location, then zip the folder, and send that zip file to my testers.
