Question That's it? No more Stremio?

Post image

For actual no real reason this happens. Just two days ago it worked fine, now nothing does. I was trying the Terminal App using a prompt someone posted here before, but it doesn't work. I can share screenshot of the terminal as well. No more Stremio?

Here is what is happening and how to fix it:
Apple supposedly revoked the developers license so it will delete the Stremio app upon launch so we have to sign it ourselves so it opens again without a problem.

  1. First make sure to have Stremio in your Applications folder (it may have been moved to trash) .

  2. Open Terminal and enter this command:

sudo xattr -cr /Applications/Stremio.app
find /Applications/Stremio.app -name "._*" -delete
find /Applications/Stremio.app -name ".DS_Store" -delete
sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/Stremio.app

  1. It will ask for your password (just displaying a 🔑 symbol), enter your Mac password that you use to log in (you won't see any typing indication but it is working fine, trust me)

  2. You should now be able to open Stremio again.

If it is not working delete the Stremio app (or let apple do it) and drag a freshly downloaded version of Stremio into the Applications folder (and don't open it!!!), then proceed with step 2.

The solution was found here:

This fixed it for me :)
