On Catalina, Xcode 10 is "verified" every startup - macos-catalina

I'm seeing my Xcode 10 (downloaded as I always do from the developer downloads website and not from the App Store) get verified EVERY single startup on Catalina 10.15.1
Does anyone know a workaround? I really regret upgrading to Catalina - like iOS13, it's not ready for prime time yet.
ALSO...
After running the the sim the first time (i.e. Xcode installs and runs the app in the sim), subsequent attempts to run the app in the sim bork because the same Verify process mentioned above runs for Xcode again (even though it's running the Xcode instance) and the debug connection times out, so it becomes impossible to run the app without removing the app first.
I would say at this point that Apple's security implementation in Catalina is thoroughly broken - would STRONGLY advise developers who work in a production environment with earlier Xcode versions to NOT upgrade from Mojave yet.
============== UPDATE ==============
Fixed with the Catalina 10.15.2 update

Localhost Coldfusion install showing cfquery parameters on page (Not speaking with ODBC)

Goal:
Run cfquery of remote server on local Coldfusion install.
Problem/Symptoms:
The cfquery parameters are printing onto the screen, instead of running query on remote.Example of cfquery parameter printout on screen
Facts:
Running Mac OS X Mojave (10.14.3).
Coldfusion is installed. I can access the CF Admin panel at http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
Data Source is installed in Coldfusion Admin and status is "OK"
Using Mamp Pro 5.3. It's running -- can start and stop Apache.
Apache is running on port 80
Updated ODBC Actual SQL Server drivers (Version 4.2.0 from ActualTech). Tested connection to server with driver and it is working.
Remote database is using port 1433
I'm sure there are more questions to answer, but hopefully that's a decent start. What am I doing wrong?
Update: 3/17/2019
Feeling stuck here. I've uninstalled and reinstalled CF2018 and MAMP Pro. I've used the wsconfig applet for Adobe Coldfusion (ACF) as described by Brian Lang and I've also tried the manual approach as described by Adobe.
Update: 4/19/2019
I may have figured this out, now that there is a release of Mac OS 10.14.4. Going to test it on another computer to confirm that the process works and that I have all the steps documented, then will share answers.
The solution to this problem had to do with a conflict with Mac OS X and Coldfusion/Apache. Because Mac OS X 10.14.4 fixed the "mod_jk" file that was conflicting with Apache, Coldfusion 2018 can now run on Mac OS X.
In order to solve the problem, I needed to:
upgrade Mac OS X to 10.14.4
stop all other servers
install Coldfusion 2018
set up Coldfusion Apache Connector
set up local virtual host
I confirmed that it worked on another computer, and have documented detailed instructions in this post: https://www.steckinsights.com/configuring-coldfusion-2018-with-apache-on-mac-os-x-mojave/
Fair warning: I think that the mod_jk issue in Mac OS 10.14.3 and prior was the issue, but there were so many different aspects I tested in the process, that there may be unique issues related to your particular computer's configuration. I hope hope this helps anyone out there having issues.

Limited resolution in CentOS7 VirtualBox despite successful install of guest additions

I've spent all week trying to find an answer to this issue through google
I have installed VirutalBox 6.0.0 on a Windows 10 64-bit host, and I have created a VM and installed the latest CentOS 7 iso (CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1810). I have installed VirutalBox Guest Additions in the guest; there were no errors during the installation, and I'm enjoying some of the VirtualBox features that require Guest Additions (e.g. shared clipboard, shared folders, drag-and-drop, etc).
My only problem is that my resolution is limited to sizes no greater than 1024x768 and the "auto-resize guest display" option in VirutalBox is greyed out. I've tried setting up new VMs. I've tried reinstalling guest additions. I've tried reinstalling guest additions after updating the kernel to the latest version, and without updating the kernel at all. I've verified that I have all of the necessary packages to build against my current version of the kernel (e.g. kernel-headers, kernel-devel, etc). I've verified that systemctl shows the guest additions services as starting successfully. I've tried modifying my grub configuration to use vga=ask and selecting one of the alternative resolutions available there, but CentOS never finishes booting if I do that.
I am at wit's end. Does anyone have any other ideas?
Versions:
Windows 10 64-bit host
VirtualBox 6.0.0
CentOS 7 guest using CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1810.iso
After trying an insane number of combinations, I was able to get this working with the following procedure
1) Install clean CentOS7
2) Update to latest kernel
3) Remove all kernel packages for the old kernel version
4) Build VBoxLinuxAdditions
What was weird was that this procedure didn't work for the older kernel (e.g. the one that came with my fresh CentOS7 install, prior to updating it with yum); the CentOS7 installer was installing the headers for the newer kernel even if I hadn't installed the newer kernel yet. So there was some sort of version mismatch between what VirtualBox thought it was building against vs what it was actually building against, resulting in nothing working until I had removed all traces of the old kernel.

Can One Run Selenium Tests on Debian Virtual Machine?

I'm trying to wrap my head around this and figure out if it's possible. I've been doing Django development on a Mac running OS X 10.10. My production machine is a Debian server running on AWS. Recently, I decide to move my development to a Debian virtual machine built with Vagrant that runs on my Mac because I'm tired of having to maintain two different runtime environments. The problem is that I have a number of Selenium functional tests that I've been running on my Mac that I'd like to keep using. Is it possible to install Firefox and Selenium on the Debian VM and run my tests on that box and see them running in the browser as I do now on my Mac? Also, would it be possible to run them on my AWS production server? It seems to me that these tests won't run once I start running things outside of my current OS X environment.
Thanks.
Works great for me, for years. Same, much better when running the same OS. I use Ubuntu on VMWare Fusion, running selenium on Chrome with Chrome driver (doesn't work with Chromium, works great with Chrome).
Just make sure you have the correct driver https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads

Webserver not working on OSX Mavericks

I was running a webserver and also Coldfusion just fine until I upgraded to Mountain Lion, then it stopped working. I got it working again by turning everything back on that the upgrade disabled, but now I have upgraded to Mavericks nothing is working. I have followed all the steps in various web articles but it won't work. PHP is enabled, everything that was enabled before is set up, including virtual hosts, and all the folders are in the same place.
I get the error: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1. [or localhost, or any of my virtual hosts]
I've gone over everything time after time and I can't figure out why it won't work. I have started, stopped, restarted the webserver numerous times, it is set to start on bootup too. I couldn't even complete the Coldfusion install because I couldn't load the administrator in a browser.
What could the problem be? Where should I look?
This is not a complete answer, but this should help get things started
Try using the command line start. It will probably be complaining about Java 7 not being installed. I recently needed to install Java 7 JDK (not JRE to get things running)
I know to get the rest of it running, I need to point ColdFusion at the proper JVM. You can find the JVM settings at /Applications/ColdFusion10/cfusion/bin/jvm.xml. You should have some setting like
# VM configuration
#
# Where to find JVM, if {java.home}/jre exists then that JVM is used
# if not then it must be the path to the JRE itself
java.home=/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home
application.home=/Applications/ColdFusion10/cfusion
When you install Java 7, the JRE is at
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/jre
Backup, and edit the jvm.config file to
#
# VM configuration
#
# Where to find JVM, if {java.home}/jre exists then that JVM is used
# if not then it must be the path to the JRE itself
java.home=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/jre
# java.home=/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home
application.home=/Applications/ColdFusion10/cfusion
If all goes well, you should be able to start ColdFusion
Some additional help
Installing Java on OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)
When you install Java 7
Just saw this thread. ColdFusion 10 is now supported on OS X 10.9 Maverick with the release of CF10 Update 13.
This should work for you now.

Can't connect to yesod server

I followed this tutorial, and I've tried it on Windows 8, a clean install of Windows 7, and Ubuntu (all on the same computer and router). It works on Ubuntu, but the browser fails to ever connect to localhost:3000 (or any port I specify in the code) with Windows 7 and Windows 8. However, connecting to ruby on rails at localhost:3000 does work on Windows 7 and Windows 8. So far, I've played around with the hosts file, running as administrator, using ghc, using yesod devel, firewalls, and more. Nothing has worked. I assume given these constraints that it's a bug in yesod, but maybe there's a hack around it.
I believe there was a bug for a few days with the version of Warp on Hackage which prevented it from working on Windows. Any more recent version of Warp should work correctly.
