Would you expect Gatekeeper on High Sierra to just refuse to run a current build outright, without even the usual bypass options? I'm not sure if my IT department has been continuing the war against its own users, or maybe I've just put off updating too long.

Lunar is signed and notarized with a paid developer certificate so I don’t think gatekeeper could block it in anyway.

It’s possible that in High Sierra you are missing the Swift 5 runtime. You can find details about this in the troubleshooting section of the GitHub readme.

Here is the link where you can download an installer for that: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1998?locale=en_US

That did the trick, thanks! Weird that the error details would talk about code signing when the problem was a missing runtime, but go figure.

I've switched over to using Lunar as of this morning, following the runtime install. Unfortunately, it looks like today's going to be cloudy straight through, so I don't know that I'll get the best opportunity to see the app strut its stuff right away. That said, the UX has been very solid thus far, and I like the extensive configurability even if I have no intention of using more than about 5% of it.

Strong recommend, and definitely worth a coffee!
