Is the brew ecosystem impacted by this?
I bet their own engineers would be impacted by that.

#12I haven't found much information about this online. One YouTube comment claimed Apple has only removed the ability to launch unsigned apps via right-click, but you can still open them deep in the setting menus.
This the article claims Apple removed that workaround (needed since macOS 15.0) completely in macOS 15.1.

Works fine for me.

#14Hasn’t affected me. And I use a bunch of homebrew installed software. The error message shown on that blog looks more like a bug than a policy message.
What kind of a god-forsaken OS has bugs that completely take away your ability to run [unsanctioned] software? Food for thought.

#15The Author didn't check if they have a unique problem ... it it seems they have an individual issue. Which is still shit, but not the kind of suggested by the alarmist headline.
I checked my version, it its 15.1. on a M2 Macbook Air. Its fine. Same for at least 3 other people I asked and which checked.

#16This claim does not appear to hold water. Works fine for me on both an M1 Ultra Mac Studio and M2 Max MacBook Pro running macOS 15.1.
Seems like it’s just a bug that the author is experiencing.

A message about accessing “(null)” suggests something pretty specific to that machine IMO

Is it really a bug, or is it A/B testing I wonder.
Like they're testing the waters, to see how people react.

#19Apple removing the ability to run unsigned software entirely would footgun Mac sales. No way they would do that.

iOS. But, also, this isn't the first time this has happened in MacOS either:
