MacOS Catalina continuously verifies Toolbox

Every time I reboot my mac or the first time I open Toolbox, the OS goes through a verify process. This adds 10-15 seconds to the open process. Any reason for this. This is the only 3rd party app that does this.

 

Hello,

could you please record a video with replication of this issue? Also please send Technical Data report and post it's ID here, it will help in investigation: https://kb.parallels.com/en/124107

I have a quicktime move with .mov extension. Uploading a file here doesn't let me do it. Please advise.

 

Hi, please check your inbox for more info about uploading. Looking forward to your reply.

 

Sent the file to s******@parallels.com

 

Thanks a lot, got it. We will investigate this issue further.

 

Ok. For further clarification: I had this message appearing for most of my apps until the latest (most recent) Catalina update.
After I applied the update, only toolbox still goes through the full verify on reboot. Parallels Access stopped this.

Hello,
I have two options in my mind:
1) It could be the same issue that was before 10.15.2 update. In this case you will need to wait until next update from Apple. I see from the thread that some users complains about 'Verifying files' problem in 10.15.2 for some (not all) application.
2) It could be something wrong with Parallels Toolbox application. Let's check it:
- In Terminal run these commands and put here the output

Code:

xattr /Applications/Parallels\ Toolbox.app/

codesign --display --verbose=4 /Applications/Parallels\ Toolbox.app/

codesign --test-requirement="=notarized" --verify --verbose /Applications/Parallels\ Toolbox.app/

 

Output from Terminal

What about output of this command?

Code:

codesign --test-requirement="=notarized" --verify --verbose /Applications/Parallels\ Toolbox.app/

 

Copeland-Mac-Mini:~ Morey$ codesign --test-requirement="=notarized" --verify --verbose /Applications/Parallels\ Toolbox.app/

/Applications/Parallels Toolbox.app/: valid on disk

/Applications/Parallels Toolbox.app/: satisfies its Designated Requirement

/Applications/Parallels Toolbox.app/: explicit requirement satisfied

Copeland-Mac-Mini:~ Morey$

 

After running the Terminal script, I restarted the Mac. The verify message box no longer appears.
Maria@parallels also received this reply. Please touch base with her to avoid duplication of effort/

 

From information you've provided there is nothing criminal with Parallels Toolbox, it is signed correctly and should be launched without 'validation'. I'm afraid it is Apple-related issue and we can't do much about it.

 

Glad to hear it!

 

Have a happy holiday!!
