iXoft apps and MacOS security
MacOS includes Gatekeeper technology which can block the installation of software from unrecognized developers.
If you get a message telling "application cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer" or "the application is damaged"when opening or installing an app, just try the following solutions depending on your MacOS version:
  • Control-click the application from the Finder, choose Open from the menu, then click Open in the dialog that appears. Enter your admin name and password to open the app.
  • To permanently save the app as an exception to your security settings - so you will be able to open it in the future by double-clicking it - proceed as follows:
    • 1 - Open System Settings.
    • 2 - Click Privacy & Security , scroll down, and click the Open Anyway button to confirm.
    • 3 - The warning prompt reappears and you can click Open.

  • You can also copy the full path of the downloaded file and then type in the Terminal:
            xattr -d com.apple.quarantine Path_Of_The_File
    This command does not modify the OS and only has an effect on the targeted application by removing it from GateKeeper's quarantine.
