View source for Open unsigned applications on macOS Sequoia and newer

As of macOS Sequoia (15), Gatekeeper has tightened restrictions on running unsigned applications. The control-click and Open workaround no longer works. This guide demonstrates how to open these applications. Once an app has been opened once, it can be opened normally in the future.

== Through Terminal ==

Use the following command on the application:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">xattr -cr ./MyApp.app</syntaxhighlight>

== Through System Settings ==

#Try to open the app. A prompt saying '"My Unsigned App.app" Not Opened' may appear.<br>[[File:SequoiaGatekeeper-NotOpened.png|260px]]
#Go to System Settings -> Privacy & Security. Scroll down to find the app, and an option to "Open Anyway".<br>[[File:SequoiaGatekeeper-SystemSettings-PrivacyAndSecurity.png|715px]]
#Choose "Open Anyway".<br>[[File:SequoiaGatekeeper-OpenAnyway.png|260px]]
#Authenticate as an adminstrator.<br>[[File:SequoiaGatekeeper-AuthenticateApp.png|260px]]
#The app will now open.
