It's literally right click on the .app and click 'Open'. Or alternatively, open up the security settings and click the 'Open Anyway' button.

Certainly not ideal for developers who do regularly open up unsigned binaries, but you have to admit it's probably somewhat effective at preventing malware for non-developers.
- aero-glide 6y agoOff topic, but is there a way to sideload like that on iOS without jailbreak?
