What is QA Bridge?​

Common Errors​

PantoAI QA Bridge.app is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin.

This error message is misleading: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253714860?sortBy=rank

Signing the final build with an Apple certificate will resolve this issue. This is currently a work in progress.

Workaround: Run the following command after opening Terminal.app (assuming you have downloaded and extracted the app in the Downloads folder)

# Open `Terminal.app`
xattr -c ~/Downloads/PantoAI\ QA\ Bridge.app

QA Bridge CLI​

Alternatively, if you already have a development environment set up, you can install our CLI tool directly using pipx.

pipx install pantoqa_bridge

pantoqa_bridge # To start the CLI
