Just heard about & love this project! Installation bug:

On macOS Big Sur (v11.5.2), AppFlowy (v0.0.2) gives opening error requiring Security & Privacy override to bypass as warning:

“AppFlowy 2” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.
This software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for more information.
Firefox downloaded this file today at 9:56 AM from github.com.

Appears next-step bug to https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/appflowy/issues/6.

  1. Download most recent release 0.0.2 zip
  2. Unzip & click "AppFlowy" file, receive error
  3. Open Security & Privacy click to "open anyway"
  4. AppFlowy now successfully loads & will w/o error on subsequent open attempts

thank you for asking and answering the question ❤️
we haven't paid to Apple so that's why, but we'll get one so this won't happen as long as we feel ready to serve end users.
