    As of the 12th of July, Apple has stopped signing the certificate for TNT patches. This means that Adobe Zii will most likely crash (although 4.3.7 still seems to load). 4.3.8 is dead.

    If you want a workaround to the signing issue, do the following:

    1) Open Terminal and type (where name.app is the location of the Zii patcher)
    2) codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/name.app

    that should fix the signing issue and Zii will open.

    easiest way to get the location of Zii is typing in codesign --force --deep --sign - and dragging the Zii file into the terminal.

    Not sure if this will be of help, but thought i'd share it. Grenice, as always, is on it to make my suggestions even more coherent.

    PS: This will also work for any TNT-based software such as Downie, etc.

    So its Apple that are the problem.
    My Adobe stopped working on the 12th July...tried the new 4.3.8 and would not run...thanks to you I tried the 4.3.7 patch and everything is up and running again....brilliant stuff.
    Do you think this is a temporary thing and that Apple will eventually kill this one too?

    i think TNT will probably make changes that will circumvent Apple's code signature issue. I've also discovered that other software that TNT has been involved in is also not loading. using the Terminal method directly on the programme will sort that out as well.

    As the code signature is signed by the user on their laptop, it should be fine.

    Two parameters are responsable for this. Gatekeeper which involves codesign-ing and SIP (System Integrity Protection) to codesign apps properly you could use script in my signature or the command above:

    eg.

    Code:
    sudo codesign -f -s - /Applications/VideoProc.app --deep
    Replace the app needed by dragging into terminal.

    LE: To be able to codesign apps you have to install xcode command line tools.
    Open up terminal and type: xcode-select --install.
    Thats it!

    Xcode is not needed for this, command line tools are enough.

    Read the quote and follow instructions.
    Seems 4.3.8 has some issues. It crashes Photoshop. Reverted back and code-signed 4.3.7. All good!
