I will never understand why "Show all filename extensions" is unchecked by default in Finder.
Genuine question, does MacOS actually care about file extensions? I would guess not, though there are probably some compatibility features that will do things if they are there.

You're hugely misreading my intentions. I'm an engineer: I see something unexpected, I want to figure out what's happening. You and I are both using the same software and you're seeing problems that I didn't even know affected some people. I'm not saying "this works for me so I don't know what you're complaining about". I'm saying "huh, this works for me. I wonder what's different between our systems? Is this somethi…
Apologies for misreading you, I'm just frustrated and accepted the fact that it is by design. I been reading other comments and as someone (xrisk) pointed out that it is Homebrew Casks which it made sense since all of the gatekeeper alerts is coming from 'Cask-ed' apps. I could disable Gatekeeper but I rather not because MacOS is not my daily driver. I rather to keep Gatekeeper active to protect itself from moronic m…
Gatekeeper is one of the most frustrating things I have to fight whenever I try using MacOS. It feels like DRM for my applications, which in turn makes everything feel clunkier, and less integrated. I would genuinely pay Apple extra for a version of MacOS that just trusts me and lets me install what I want without the some esoteric mechanism stopping me at every step of the way...
It's not that macOS doesn't trust you, it's that macOS doesn't trust the programs you're running. Specifically, it doesn't trust the programs to do what you want them to, and only what you want them to. And it's not just a matter of protecting you against out-and-out malware (although that's certainly part of it), it's a matter of protecting you against developers whose interests don't entirely align with yours. Deve…
I told macOS to run that program because I trust it. If macOS trusts me then it transitively trusts the program I told it to run.
In other words macOS doesn't trust me to validate programs before I try to run them.

Sometimes I compile my program and when I move it to the Applications folder and trying to run MacOS says, you do not have permission to do it. May be it's not a gatekeeper, who knows. The keyword here is sometimes This is what I Love about current state of MacOS. To fix it nothing works until you delete it completely and only then if you lucky etc ... It just reminds me those old good days with Microsoft many years…
Is this an Xcode project, or something outside of it? I regularly build both and have run them in the same way you're talking about here, without issue... the latter migth be a bit more nuanced, but when set up properly does work fine, so I'm inclined to think this is more a problem with how you're doing things.
"I'm inclined to think this is more a problem with how you're doing things." Of course, who would expect to see bug in XCode right? I'll tell you the secret, this is not the first bug I've spotted in Apple product during 10 years.
Honestly I do not even know what their QA team is doing if I can find few bugs manually within 10 minutes of usage ... Yesterday I have found another one with sound system, because they didn't thouhgt about one scenario in their logic. They really should spend their money on people like me instead of wasting their money on QA team that doesn't work properly :) ...Or perhaps I should take a look at their QA team to spot bugs in their working process ))
