Note: issue #3744 "Open file dialog freezes the laptop for several minutes (approx. 2 min) <-- Due to missing Code Signing" still is persisting for users.

Re: FreeCAD on macOS Mojave
There are some examples available for signing electron apps via travis:

But this needs an apple-developer-id which again needs an apple-id and a two factor verification ...

Re: FreeCAD on macOS Mojave
Tried this alias workaround on Mojave 10.14.16 to launch FreeCad 0.18 from the terminal. It launched FreeCad, but without the version info I usually see at the top left of the window. Also would not open any of my Free Cad files! Am I missing something?
I see from posts that an upgrade to Catalina solves some issues, but I'm loath to do that now as the OS upgrade will most likely cause me to lose the use of bunch of legacy software.

Re: FreeCAD on macOS Mojave
Starting from commandline I can confirm that the menu looks different. I cannot confirm any problems opening files. What did you try? Any messages on the commandline or in report view?

Re: FreeCAD on macOS Mojave
I've recently done a bit of work on Mac signing & notarization at work, so I could help out with this.
It would be nice to actually have a FreeCAD organization instead of an individual account to keep everything under, but until we are e.g. able to be classified as a non-profit through Software Freedom Conservancy membership we can neither have an org account nor get the $99/year fee waived.

Re: FreeCAD on macOS Mojave
I've had no luck with the official workaround of starting in a terminal or executing the binary directly. If I execute the binary inside the app most of the time the menus don't work at all. What I have found that works is code signing without a certificate. To do that open a terminal, cd to the directory with the FreeCAD application (or use the full path) and enter this:
codesign --force --deep -s - FreeCAD.app
I'm not sure if that really uses no certificate or a default system certificate but it eliminates the delays and I've used it on 0.18 and 0.19 builds.

Thanks for this, I have added it to the Known OS specific issues page.
