Need to find where the .saver file format locate

The iScreensaver .saver file (for macOS) or the .SCR file (for Windows) can be extracted and used in Managed Installations by following these instructions: Managed Installation

That’s a code-signing issue, since the .saver file wasn’t code-signed. You have two options:

Code-sign the installer using your Apple Developer certificates by following these instructions: iScreensaver : Code-signing, Notarization, Gatekeeper and Authenticode
If you are deploying the .saver file yourself, be sure to remove quarantine flags after copying the file to the destination. Run this command in the terminal:

xattr -c -r "/Library/Screen Savers/Straive Screensaver for Mac 2025.saver"

Sorry, that doesn’t answer the question…

How are you deploying? Are you using MDM software (such as Jamf…)? Are you running your own shell scripts? Some other tools?

Jmsbryn · March 25, 2025, 2:49pm

Hi yes we are using Jamf. Can you share us any shell script for Jamf ?

First, install your screensaver on a target mac using the normal iScreensaver Installer that you built.
then, follow the instructions here to create your Jamf scripts: GitHub - itjimbo/macOS-Screen-Saver-and-Wallpaper
