I tested this just now on my Mac and “right-click -> Open” on an untrusted .app gave me the same warning message with no obvious way to force-open the app.

I tested this just now on my Mac and “right-click -> Open” on an untrusted .app gave me the same warning message with no obvious way to force-open the app.
- my123 6y agoBecause it's “right-click -> Open” not once but _twice_. It's exactly the reverse of intuitive. There's also going to the Settings app and allowing the app, but no signs given to the user about that.

- m463 6y agoAt first, it was "are you sure". Then later versions of macos wanted right-click open. Newer ones ... I don't even know. I gave up on catalina when I couldn't install little snitch without a network connection. (Apparently there's a way, but I don't know it - it wasn't csrutil)
