Description

Hi, Folks

The latest release for macOS is being flagged by two vendors on VirusTotal: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/4ee110f49723602c627bb68f81cd3054dc16d33d7ffc87a839f4f18a6feded7d?nocache=1

I'm pretty sure it's a false positive, but raising as you may wish to work with the vendors to resolve the issue.

Uploading the App bundle rather than the dmg is only flagged by one vendor: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/86d4673a1842b076a0bc058e5c5298fb4e59475fa3c1f2c83572d816d1461df7/behavior

Thanks!
