# MacOS notarization
With the introduction
of macOS
10.
15 “Catalina” Apple introduced
[new notarization requirements] that all software must be signed
and notarized centrally.
Whilst the geckodriver
binary is technically both signed
and notarized, the
actual validation can only be performed
by MacOS
if the machine that starts
the geckodriver
binary for the very first
time is online. Offline validation
would require shipping geckodriver
as a DMG/PKG. You can track the relevant
progress
in [bug
1783943].
Note: geckodriver releases
between 0.
26.
0 and 0.
31.
0 don
't have the
notarization applied
and always require the manual steps below
to
bypass the notarization requirement
of the
binary during the very first start.

## Offline mode
There are some mitigating circumstances:
* Verification problems only occur when other notarized programs,
such
as a web browser, downloads the software
from the internet.
* Arbitrary software downloaded through other means, such as
curl(
1)
is _not_ affected
by this
change.
In other words,
if your
method for fetching geckodriver
on macOS
is through the GitHub web UI
using a web browser, the
program will
not be able
to run unless you manually disable the quarantine
check
(explained below).
If downloading geckodriver via other means
than a macOS notarized
program, you should not be affected.
To bypass the notarization requirement
on macOS
if you have downloaded
the geckodriver .tar.gz via a web browser, you can
run the following
command
in a terminal:
% xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine geckodriver
A problem with notarization will manifest itself through a security
dialogue appearing, explaining that the source
of the
program is
not trusted.
