[FieldTrip] Update macOS and MATLAB; malware error

[Schubert, E.S. (Sophie)]

Dear Fieldtrip Community,

After updating to macOS Sequoia and MATLAB 2024, I am experiencing issues with FieldTrip. When loading ft_defaults, I get the following error message:

"ft_getopt.mexmaci64" cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware.

I am aware of the suggested workaround, where the following commands are executed in the terminal:

sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine LOCATION_OF_FIELDTRIP
sudo find LOCATION_OF_FIELDTRIP -name \*.mexmaci64 -exec spctl --add {} \;

Unfortunately, this solution no longer seems to work, as the spctl command-line tool can no longer manage Gatekeeper exceptions in macOS Sequoia. As a result, I am currently unable to use FieldTrip.

Could you advise me on an alternative solution or any updates to FieldTrip that are compatible with the latest version of macOS and MATLAB?

Thank you very much for your help. Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Kind regards,

Sophie Schubert
