[not a bug, looking for feedback..]

I'm developing an app on linux using playwright-go, and works great on linux

But after compiling Windows and Mac (Intel/Arm) versions, all three are being blocked by the OS as suspected malware.

  • Windows Defender automatically quarantines it, as its heuristics engine flag it up as "Trojan:Script/Wacatac.H!ml" (a generic signature which is often a false positive)

  • OSX refuses to run as it "cannot guarantee its free from malware"

  • Google Drive blocks it from download as it looks suspicious, but after asking them to review it manually they gave it the ok

Is this a common issue with playwright-go apps, or maybe just playwright apps in general?
