Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue
  • I will be providing steps how to reproduce the bug (in most cases this will also mean uploading a demo budget file)

What happened?

When opening the Electron app on newer Macs, users will get this error:
356790171-9996c152-95b3-46a3-9f87-f8e82f258299

The reason for the error is documented here:
https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/8191

Temporary workaround

Disable gatekeeper for the app with the following command:

xattr -c /applications/actual.app

Solution
We need to sign the app
