macOS now reports AlDente as malware and prompts me to move the application to the bin, but I think this is a false positive based on the source code here.

Is this related to the certificate issue? Seems a little dramatic is that's the case 😅

Download and install the latest version v2.1.2 - it fixes this issue. I just installed it and it's working great on a 2018 13" MBP.

Had this also - and learned it was about expired developer certificate.

Any chance to know the date of the next certificate expiration?

I keep my TimeMachine backups for a long time - and would be happy to know how frequently I need to update AlDente.

Many thanks!

@CharlieBrown12
The current certificate is valid until 2026, although since this is now a paid Apple development certificate, I am pretty sure a renewal should be possible without the application to stop working.

Best regards,
David
