Rave for macOS blocked because of revoked certificate - I made a script that fixes it

If Rave on macOS is showing "Malware Blocked" or CSSMERR_TP_CERT_REVOKED, I made a small script that got it working again for me.

The problem is not only the signature on Rave.app. There are multiple Mach-O binaries inside the app bundle that are still signed with Rave's revoked Team ID, so simply removing quarantine or re-signing the main app does not fix it.

The script:

  • makes a copy of Rave.app
  • finds all Mach-O files using Rave's old Team ID

re-signs them locally with ad-hoc signatures

  • re-signs the full app bundle
  • verifies that no old signatures remain

It does not disable SIP, Gatekeeper, or XProtect.

Tested with Rave 1.17.12 Universal on Apple Silicon / macOS 26.6. It works normally for me, but I can't guarantee it will work on every Mac or future Rave version.

You still need to download the original Rave app yourself - the repo does not redistribute it.

If anyone tests it on another Mac or macOS version, let me know if it works.
