Isn't that what right clicking and selecting Open does?
- MrDOS 6mo agoNowadays (as of Sequoia, I think), I find that I need to run `xattr -c Foo.app` to clear the “this was downloaded from the Internet” bit on the application bundle before I can right-click, “Open” it. Used to be that you only needed to do that with .apps extracted from zip archives, but it seems to apply to .apps copied out of disk images (DMGs) now, too.
- odo1242 6mo agoThey disabled the right-click-and-select-open feature; you now have to go to Settings to run the app.
- zarzavat 6mo agoOh, that sucks. In any case, Gatekeeper is mostly intended to save grandmas who are at risk of downloading random malware from the internet. If you're a developer who is reasonably aware of how computers work you might as well disable Gatekeeper entirely. You're taking many times more risk every time you use Terminal.
