SOLVED - Arduino Create on Mac Ventura 13.0

Hi, I have just upgraded my mac to Ventura 13.0 and my existing copy of Create Agent was requested to be uninstalled. I install the current version and the apple message is:

“ArduinoCreateAgent.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin.

Anyone any ideas or is it that Arduino have yet to release a version for Ventura 13.0?

Sorry, just found the reason, might be useful to other Ventura users; in System Settings, Privacy & security, Security, you need to authorise the app. This is slightly different to the older way it works and so i didn't spot it.

Thank you for posting this, and with the solution!

I have a bunch of these apps, Gmail.app, Google Meet.app, Google Calendar.app and so on and was getting the same error.

It's a shame that we have to allow each one individually, so many clicks...

I have similar but worse problems after upgrading to ventura 13, and re installing the Create agent, the error messages I get are

ArduinoCreateAgent” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin.

This file was downloaded on an unknown date.

Problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete correctly

Error running security add-trusted-cert -d -r trustRoot -k /Users/username/Library/Keychains/login.keychain /Users/username/Applications/ArduinoCreateAgent/ArduinoCreateAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ca.cert.pem: Error reading file /Users/username/Applications/ArduinoCreateAgent/ArduinoCreateAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ca.cert.pem

By authorising the app I get the black agent circle at the top of the page and can open this and look at the debug log etc, however when I open the web editor I get warned that I need to install the agent to use the USB connection, and cannot connect using the USB connection.

It was all working before upgrading to ventura any ideas to assist me here

Thank You, This was sooo god dam annoying
