#526 Initial launch warning

[Andrew Beasley]

Apple security now reporting “XLD.app” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.

Steps to reproduce:

• Download software (done 30/01/2021)
• Double click dmg file xld-20210101.dmg
• Double click app within folder

• Message pops up

• Drag icon to Applications folder (local to user - not system)

• Double click file in launchpad

• Message pops up

• Select app from system preferences / security

• Message pops up

Work around:

Select open from dialog box

O/S details:

Catalina 10.15.7 on Intel Mac Mini
Security set to allow applications from app store and identified developers

Note this only happens on the first launch.

XLD isn't signed with a paid developer ID so it is an expected behavior.
