macOS deprecation

Post by eppic »

When installing MakeMKV via Homebrew on macOS, you're currently getting warned that MakeMKV has been "deprecated because it does not pass the macOS Gatekeeper check" and will be "disabled on 2026-09-01".

Are there any plans to fix this and have the code properly signed in time? This should be expected from a software that is technically not freeware.

I don't think MakeMKV has ever been signed by the developer for macOS. I don't expect it will be, but I'm just speculating.

It has never occurred to me to try to install MakeMKV via Homebrew.

Just wondering if MakeMKV is going to be impacted when Apple deprecates and basically removes Rosetta 2 in the next MacOS in September. Is the MacOS version a universal binary or written for the Apple Silicon?
