Not sure if you still need this info, but I can confirm that both A and B methods below work on my Mac Sonoma 14.6.1.
Sigil opens with no warning or pop-up message or anything. It just opens, voilą

A. download with any browser and then delete the resulting "com.apple.quarantine" attribute before unpacking it:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine Sigil.app-2.3.0-Mac-arm64.txz
OR
B. Use curl to do the download for me and allow github to do the needed relocations:
curl -L -o Sigil.app.txz https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/Sigil...-Mac-arm64.txz
Using curl just moves the file from github to my machine and does not add any com.apple.quarantine extended attribute
Then I can just double-click on Sigil.app.txz to unpack it and then launch the resulting Sigil.app with no warning then generated.

So will some mac user please verify if one or both of these approaches work on their machine as I can not tell if they work only on the machine that built them or will work on any Mac. I am hoping for the latter case. |
