Hi, To avoid this from happening the Exist dmg package should be notarized: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/notarizing_macos_software_before_distribution Until this happens, as another workaround which recently worked for me you can remove the quarantine flag from the Exist installation folder, we have a topic in the Oxygen user's manual about removing the quarantine flag for Oxygen, but it's similar: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/23.1/ug-editor/topics/archive-fails-to-run-mac.html#archive-fails-to-run-mac__solution Regards, Radu Radu Coravu Oxygen XML Editor On 10/28/21 05:29, Elisa Beshero-Bondar wrote: > Hi John, > Apple tries to prevent people from running software released outside > their proprietary orbit.
