If this isn’t working for iMovie, then the last Mojave-compatible version may no longer be on the server. I’m running a very old copy of macOS (Sierra), and I’ve seen this many times when reinstalling apps, both from Apple and third-party, from the App Store. If you attempt to download and you are running Mojave, the site blocks the incompatible download (as it should), but there is NO further option or reference as to how or where an “official” source of the earlier software resides for direct download. Once again someone says what 'should happen but this ISN’T what does happen. If somebody hacks the site (as happened with OnyX in the past) and substitutes malware, the hash won’t match.īut if the developer has chosen to include malware with their app for whatever reason, the only defense is to run anti-malware software in the background in hopes that it will catch any infected download before you can install it. Apple Accidentally Approved Malware to Run on MacOS | WIREDĪnd software downloaded from a developer’s site can be verified as original when the developer provides the downloaded with the hash value of the software they posted to their download site.

What seemingly cannot be guaranteed at the moment is that the genuine app is free from malware, given that the App Store has recently twice allowed notarized apps to include the Shlayer malware. Most of what you are asking for is provided by the Mac App Store, since that’s the venue under discussion here. that has been verified as “clean” without malware hooking a ride OR that is “delayed” during download such that the end result can be verified as “clean” before the recipient installs same? Why the heck hasn’t some wizard come up with an equivalent option for the unique and specific purpose of being able to download software, etc.
