Description
Hi, was just trying to set up JIT using the guide at https://faq.altstore.io/altstore-classic/enabling-jit however when attempting to run the jitterbugpair executable I get the pop up "jitterbugpair was not opened because it contains malware".
I downloaded jitterbugpair from altstore.io, and running it in virustotal seems to show that it's a signed application with 0 detections, so did apple revoke certs?
I've attached the file that I downloaded from the website just in case it really is illegitimate but I've checked many many times and it is from altstore.io
Macbook Pro 2019 13-inch running Sequoia 15.7.2

Research direction
Start with the enabling JIT guide and the attached jitterbugpair.zip, then reproduce the warning on macOS Sequoia 15.7.2 using the reported 2019 MacBook Pro. A useful resolution would establish whether the downloaded executable is legitimate or whether its certificate status changed, and document the supported outcome.
