Same issue here
I have just successfully installed LibreOffice 5.1.4 on OSX El Capitan 10.11.5, with no sign of these verification problems. I don’t know whether that’s a result of a change in LO or OSX.
Same problem with 5.1.4 on MacBook Pro (2015) with MacOS 10.10.5
It seems the problem is still NOT SOLVED (as of July 26th 2017), despite several tickets marked “doubled”, hence solved:
MBP late '11, 2,5 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM, Mac OS 10.10.5 Yosemite.
After installing LO 5.3.4.2 it wouldn’t start, hanging first with verification when installing German language pack, after I tried without - same result.
“xattr -d” worked, but still …
LO 5.3.4 is 3x slower than LO 4.4.5.2 (startup, format cells…). I returned to the older version, works fine.
LO V 6.2.1 + OSX V 10.10.5 has the same problem, i.e. “verification” hangs up at the end of the installation of certain apps.
The workaround for me* is to go to system preferences/security & privacy/general and to temporarily set “Allow apps download from” to “Anywhere”. The other two selections wouldn’t cut it.
Don’t forget to return to the original settings after having completed your installations!
- “me” means that I hope it also works for you…
If verifying application on first start after download and installation is stuck forever, got to Terminal:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/LibreOffice.app
This helped here with LibreOffice. I never had those issues before with LibreOffice. Very sad.
This worked for me on LO 5.1.4. Thanks!
Thank you very much, this works !!!.
Thanks a lot. Worked like a charm! Macbook Air early 2014, OSX 10.10.5. LO 5.2.1.2
I question why I need to do this on every new version of LibreOffice I install, but I’m very happy this works. Thanks!
Thank you very much, this works
