Security issues Dash Wallet (on M1 MacOS, ARM)

[TheHyves]

Hi there...

My android crashed but luckily enough I do have a recovery phrase.

Currently, I'm trying to restore this wallet and crowdnode because I have over 1000 DASH on that shared masternode.
One problem is that when I open Dash Core then I got the following warning:

"Dash Core" can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.
This software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for more information.

Ok, it's a third party but I cannot imagine that I'm the only user who did download the same wallet and the other version (not version 22) did work pretty well. I can use Ubuntu/linux as alternative.

FYI: There is another .js version of DASH wallet around on GitHub so I recommend to use small transfers otherwise you might be badly ripped off.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated, maybe it works pretty well on Ubuntu or do I need some patience to solve some bugs in the app or can I install it out-of-the-box?

I think you are heading in the right direction, install Ubuntu as a virtual OS, download and run the Dash Core v22 there and after a day when it is synced restore the hd wallet in there. Alternatively, you may try Dash Electrum from Pshenemic website site, get the link to it from DashCentral, or his Github page his main site is https://pshenmic.dev/

This is a known issue currently that I've been attempting to resolve.

In MacOS land there are three levels of binaries; unsigned, signed, and notarized.

Notarized binaries are binaries that have been uploaded to apple for basic inspection. We generally do this in our release process; however, recently apple changed something on their end, and we now get an error when attempting to notarize the application which states that the "Team is not yet configured for notarization. Please contact Developer Programs Support..."

I've reached out to apple support, for well, support and figuring out what exactly that error means, as I couldn't find much help in documentation or online, but so far their support hasn't been super helpful.

These binaries remain signed by an apple issued / blessed key, and my own PGP key (as well as other core devs). You can remain confident in the security of the app, so long as you validate my PGP signature on the binary. You can see the docs around this here: https://docs.dash.org/en/stable/doc...e/installation-macos.html#verifying-dash-core

On MacOS, after you get this non-notarized error, you can open settings and go to privacy / security and select "open anyway" to bypass this error.

This is another instance of apple's walled garden being quite beautiful, but annoying to, well, garden in...
