CloudPull console errors fix

Posted at age 28.

This is just to document that I solved a somewhat innocuous problem with a quick command. I use CloudPull to back up my Google Drive and email, and I think it has been working fine. I have noticed a bunch of errors in my console, though I don’t think they prevented CloudPull from working.

I ran this command:

xattr -d -r -s com.apple.quarantine /Applications/CloudPull.app

Then my logs got much cleaner. This is what they looked like before:

I got the idea from @motin mentioning on Docker not launched at login due to Mac downloaded files quarantine - Could not find and/or execute program specified by service: 155: Refusing to execute/trust quarantined program/file: com.docker.helper #713:

Possible workaround

xattr -d -r -s com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Docker.app
