A quick how to allow opening macOS Apps despite Gatekeeper’s warning message:
«Apple could not verify that its free of malware
that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy»
Manually «Allow anyway» in «Privacy & Security»-Settings
- Try launching the App, so the macOS Gatekepper warning appears (again)
- Close the dialogue by choosing to «Done» (aka “keep the App”)
- Open «System Settings» & select «Privacy & Security»
- Scroll down to the «Security» section
- The blocked App should be listed: click on «Allow anyway» next to the App
- Re-open the affected App directly & now confirm to open it.
Seeing instead Error «App is Damaged and can’t be Opened»?
