Having issues with running this. I understand that it's already been discussed here but it's still an issue even with the flag you've added. Maybe the developer license is really needed?

Hi. I am fairly certain this issue is just related to the security settings you have configured on your machine. You should still be able to run the workflow, check here: https://www.lifewire.com/fix-developer-cannot-be-verified-error-5183898.

On a related note, I currently have no plans to buy an Apple Developer account or, for that matter, learn enough Rust to sufficiently understand the backend (nightlight).

Got it. For anyone in the future having problems with this, although there are only two options under "Allow apps downloaded from", immediately after running this workflow and getting the above error you can see an extra prompt beneath that you have to click to allow access.

What I usually do: try to run the workflow once... cancal the error message.

Then, allow that binary to run by going into Security & Privacy - Nightshift will be there (sorry - I didn't get the proper screenshot):

Now if you try to run the workflow again, it will work or at least present the "Open" option.
