fix: clear quarantine xattr in cask postflight#18
Merged
Conversation
…rew install The darwin binaries are only ad-hoc signed (not Developer ID signed or notarized), so macOS Gatekeeper quarantines them on download and refuses to launch. Users had to manually run `xattr -cr` before castor would run. Add a postflight stanza that strips the quarantine attribute from the staged binary, so `brew install --cask stupside/tap/castor` works out of the box with no manual step. Closes #17
