With both commits, I needed to execute the quarantine exclusion (xattr) and codesign commands provided by Andreas in order to get Hatari to run. Once I ran both commands, I was able to get Hatari to run in macOS Sonoma. I knew the SDL2 error was related to security, but I did not know how to fix the code signature so Hatari would run.
Andreas,
Thanks for the two commands. I was doing the xattr command to exclude Hatari from quarantine, but I did not know the correct code signing command.
I do not know if cirrus-ci provides the ability to create a self-signed code certificate. I have downloaded other emulators that gave me the message that I had downloaded a program from an unregistered developer. I knew I was taking a risk, but I let macOS run the emulator anyway. I realize that many small developers do not want to pay Apple $99/year for a developer certificate.
I also realize that these security measures are annoying when you trust the developer code, like Hatari. I also realize that these measures were not created for people like me. It keeps normal Mac users safe that do not think enough about where they download their software. In the future, I hope it will be easier for users to bypass these measures if they wish to do so.
In order for the next Mac version of Hatari to be released to normal Mac users, the executable will need to be set up so the users does not need to go into Terminal in order to make it run. I am hoping that Andreas’ commands can be added to the yml file and that fixes the problem.

Hello again Thomas,
I noticed today that the builds from cirrus-ci are missing libpng so compressed videos/screenshots are not possible.
Not a big deal for screenshots but videos gets very very large.
Is it possible to add libpng to these Hatari builds?
Hi,
main problem is that there does not seem to be a proper pre-built libpng
available for macOS. It's likely possible to compile that in the cirrus-CI,
too ... but for me that's very cumbersome to come up with the right
commands since I don't have a macOS machine for testing, i.e. I have to
update the cirrus-ci.yml file by guessing, then submit a built, then wait
for the job to get scheduled, then finally find out that I had a typo
somewhere, then start again from the beginning ... It would really be
better if one of the macOS users could come up with a proper patch for the
.cirrus-ci.yml file instead.
Thomas
I appended a pre-built framework version of the latest libpng (1.6.40). It works with macOS 10.13 and later. I have built it with these steps:
a Download source code from http://libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html
b Go to the source directory and build an Xcode project:
cmake -G Xcode . -DPNG_FRAMEWORK=ON -DPNG_HARDWARE_OPTIMIZATIONS=OFF
Thanks for the instructions, Andreas. I had some spare minutes this morning
and tried to add something similar to the cirrus-ci script:
https://github.com/huth/hatari/commit/2ae8f3b050ec9f5e
(I think it's likely better to build it in the CI job, too, instead of
downloading a pre-built framework, to make sure that the Xcode version
really matches the one that is used for the Hatari build)
Anders, could you please try whether this build works for you:
https://cirrus-ci.com/task/5666953684058112
If that works fine, I'll add the commit to the main repo.

Hello Thomas,
I just tested it and there seem to be some code signing issues. I had to apply these two commands to make it run:
xattr -cr ~/Downloads/hatari-snapshot/hatari.app
That's the apple quarantine stuff, I assume? ... I guess there's not much
that can be done to improve that situation...
codesign --force -s - ~/Downloads/hatari-snapshot/hatari.app
And that's weird, I've already got such a codesign line in the
cirrus-ci.yml script, not clue why you have to do that again...
Could some macOS guru please double check whether that stuff in the
.cirrus-ci.yml file looks right?
Thomas
I agree that the quarantine and signing stuff of the latest macOS versions is extremely annoying! Your codesign line is different from mine. Probably use the same command as me?
