Cant launch Defold. Help!

Whenever I go to launch Defold, it always says that this app is from a a unknown publisher and it won’t let me open it at all. I’m new to coding and I just got Defold today. Please help!

If you click More Info on the dialog you should be able to click Run Anyway.

I tried that and it still is not working. When I click the app, instead of that popping up nothing happens

What platform are you on? Linux, Mac, or Windows, and what version?

Newest version and I’m on windows

Did you put Defold into your user home folder? (C:\Users\Username\...)

Guessing you’re not an administrator on the PC?

This is a bit weird because the application should be signed with our certificate. We will investigate this part. BUT you should be able to run it anyway.

Thank you although I have decided that I will just use the Godot game engine. Although, if you find a solution to fix this please let me know for I would love to test out Defold as well. Happy Holidays!

We actually did find a problem with code signing on Windows. A new version of the editor will be available soon, probably on Monday.

It should already be fixed. The code signing fix was merged: Updated editor signing procedure for windows by JCash · Pull Request #5417 · defold/defold · GitHub

Try to update the editor and you should see the Defold Foundation as Publisher.

Tested updating and can confirm it’s signed
