Summary
The default-branch README already had a first-launch Gatekeeper note (
sudo xattr -r -cfor a generic warning). That step is now the macOS 26 “can't verify MacOSCleaner” flow: move the app to/Applications, use System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway, or runxattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/MacOSCleaner.app. Only for the DMG from the official GitHub Releases page. The release build is ad-hoc signed (DEVELOPMENT_TEAMempty; the build workflow does not submit the app to Apple).Related issue (optional)
None.
