WhatsApp AI Pro Installation: macOS and Windows Security Prompts
WhatsApp AI Pro is code-signed on both platforms and notarized on macOS. Here is what you see when you install it, and what to do in the rare case something still gets blocked.
WhatsApp AI Pro is code-signed on Windows and macOS, and the Mac build is notarized by Apple. In almost every case you download it, open it, and that is the end of it. This page covers what you will see during installation, how to check the signature yourself, and the few situations where something still gets in the way.
macOS
The Mac build is signed with an Apple Developer ID, runs under the hardened runtime, and is notarized by Apple. Gatekeeper accepts it.
Installing: open the .dmg, drag WhatsApp AI Pro into your Applications folder, then double-click it.
The first time you open any application downloaded from the internet, macOS asks once whether you are sure. Click Open. That prompt appears for every downloaded app, notarized or not, and it does not come back.
Checking the signature yourself
If you want to confirm what you installed, open Terminal and run:
spctl -a -vvv /Applications/WhatsApp\ AI\ Pro.app
You should get:
accepted
source=Notarized Developer ID
origin=Developer ID Application: FERNLOOP TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED (9L6QV96KN5)
accepted means Gatekeeper has validated both the signature and the notarization ticket.
If macOS says "unidentified developer"
You should not see this. If you do, you are almost certainly opening an older build from before the app was signed. Delete it, download the current version from the download page, and install that instead.
Windows
The Windows installer is signed by Fernloop Technologies Limited using a certificate issued by SSL.com, and the signature is timestamped.
SmartScreen can still appear
SmartScreen does not only ask whether an installer is signed. It also weighs how many people have already installed it. A signed application from a smaller publisher can still get the blue "Windows protected your PC" screen until that reputation accumulates.
What signing changes is what the dialog tells you. Click More info and the publisher line reads Fernloop Technologies Limited rather than "Unknown publisher" — that is how you know you have the genuine installer and not a repackaged copy from somewhere else.
- Click More info (a small text link, easy to miss)
- Click Run anyway
- Installation proceeds normally
Checking the signature yourself
Right-click the installer, choose Properties, and open the Digital Signatures tab. You should see Fernloop Technologies Limited listed. Select it and click Details to see the SSL.com certificate chain and the timestamp.
Antivirus false positives
Occasionally a third-party antivirus quarantines an installer it has not catalogued yet. This happens to newly released builds regardless of signing, because some engines score an unfamiliar file before they score its certificate.
If Windows Defender blocks it:
- Open Windows Security (search in the Start menu)
- Go to Virus & threat protection → Protection history
- Find the WhatsApp AI Pro entry and click it
- Select Allow on device
If a third-party antivirus blocks it:
Every antivirus is different, but the approach is the same — find the quarantined file in your antivirus history and allow it. For Norton, Kaspersky, Bitdefender and similar, search their help for "allow blocked program" or "add exception."
Before you do that, check the Digital Signatures tab as described above. If the publisher reads Fernloop Technologies Limited and the signature is valid, the file is the one we shipped.
