Disabling and enabling might also fix it, but we would need to test if that is the case.
To determine what in the firewall is b0rked, we could test several scenarios: This belief is reinforced by the notion that for some people not all apps are causing this. It seems that the firewall is not correctly recognizing the applications and/or acting incorrectly upon their detection. Asker reports the popup appearing for all apps, although intermittent. Adding a permanent exception did not fix the issue for the poster there. For example, my Cisco Unified Personal Communicator stopped working after running Monolingual (but would only generate deny errors in the Console log).Īccording to the Apple Support Forums link posted earlier, the popup appears only for certain apps. app and this time, don't modify the contents.īTW, the whole signature process can lead to plenty of errors in other applications, especially security conscious apps like VPNs. app that is generating this error (be sure to empty the recycle bin). The easiest way to fix this problem is to delete the. If you've used a program like CandyBar or IconDubber to change the icon (.icns) file, you've also changed the contents of the app. For example, if you use Monolingual or a similar app to remove other language files to save disk space, you've modified the contents of the app.
ICONDUBBER VERIFICATION
Why is the signature verification failing? This can happen for several reasons, but primarily it is because somewhere along the line you've changed the contents of the /Applications/YourProblemApplication.app container. When the signature verification process fails, you will receive this Allow/Deny error message every time you use the program, even if you click Allow on the dialog box. The firewall verifies this signature as part of its process. This signature ensures that the contents of the application haven't been changed. Several people have hit around the solution, but haven't stated it clearly, so here it is:Įvery app in OS X should be signed by the developer. As of March 27th, 2010, there's still no solution reported at either of those links. UPDATE: I had found these message threads confirming the issue: - Firewall application exceptions: dialog disappears strangely, and Apple - Support - Discussions - Annoying Firewall Allow / Deny Dialog. Has anybody seen this problem, found the source, and figured out a solution or workaround? In Security preferences I have the firewall turned " On", and I would like to keep it that way. It wouldn't be so maddening to be interrupted if I could just be allowed to click " Allow" and make the darn thing go away for good. then goes away by itself a second later,.Įxcept it doesn't actually let me click anything before it disappears! That is: Do you want the application "Reader Library.app" From time to time, I'll be on my Macbook using a program that accesses the network – whether Firefox, or Sony's Reader Library – really, it seems like it could happen with any program that accesses the network – and for no reason that I can discern so far (that is, it happens intermittently) the OS X firewall dialog pops up to ask me the question:
