# My MacOS/Windows is saying Freewallet is not verified by the app store. What should I do?

This is shown because the <mark style="color:yellow;">Freewallet Desktop version has no "signed binaries"</mark> with the Apple Mac Store or with Microsoft Apps.

Jdog has mentioned getting these 'signed binaries' all situated for the next Freewallet version. Which would also clear up [this Mac issue](https://github.com/jdogresorg/freewallet-desktop/issues/172) as well as [this Windows issue](https://github.com/jdogresorg/freewallet-desktop/issues/109).

*The Apple/MacOS team charges $99 to developers per year to have a verification certificate and <mark style="color:yellow;">Freewallet Desktop Version</mark> does not have a verification certificate at this time.*\

[As mentioned by the Apple Support](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/if-an-app-is-not-from-the-mac-app-store-mh40620/mac#:~:text=If%20you%20see%20a%20dialog,and%20open%20the%20app%20anyway.)*, "*&#x54;his doesn’t necessarily mean that there is something wrong with the app. You can choose to override your security settings and open the app anyway."

To get around this flag:

* Open Freewallet Desktop
* When the error is seen navigate to your "Settings" on your Mac device
* Click the "Privacy" tab
* Click "Open Anyway" to tell your device Freewallet Desktop is okay to run.

This process is also mentioned in the [Where can I access Freewallet?](/freewallet.io-user-manual/getting-started/where-can-i-access-freewallet.md) section.
