macOS verification warning – Angry IP Scanner reported as “Unsigned / Not verified by Apple”

Hello,

I am reporting a verification warning that appears for Angry IP Scanner v3.9.3 on macOS when the application is scanned with a system cleaning utility.

Environment
• Application: Angry IP Scanner
• Version: 3.9.3
• Platform: macOS (Apple Silicon)
• Installation path: /Applications/Angry IP Scanner.app

Observed behavior

When inspecting the application with a macOS app inspection / uninstall utility, the following warnings appear:
• Unsigned
• Not verified by Apple

The tool flags the application as:

“Developer: Unknown / Unsigned”
“App verification: Not verified by Apple”

A screenshot of the warning is attached for reference.

Expected behavior
Ideally the application should appear as:
• Developer ID signed
• Notarized by Apple

This would remove the warning and avoid potential security concerns for users running macOS Gatekeeper.

Possible cause

It appears the distributed binary may not be:
1. Signed with an Apple Developer ID certificate
2. Notarized through Apple’s notarization service

Both are required for full compatibility with modern macOS security policies.

Suggested checks

You may want to verify the distributed binary using:
codesign -dv --verbose=4 "/Applications/Angry IP Scanner.app"
spctl -a -vv "/Applications/Angry IP Scanner.app"

Impact

While the application runs correctly, the unsigned / non-notarized status may:
• Trigger warnings in macOS security tools
• Reduce user trust
• Cause installation friction on newer macOS versions

Request

Could you confirm whether the official macOS release is intended to be signed and notarized, or if the current build is intentionally distributed unsigned?

Thank you for your work on Angry IP Scanner — it is a very useful tool.

Best regards
Patrick
