Fixing macOS Gatekeeper "Unidentified Developer" Prompt
When installing on newer macOS releases (Sonoma or Sequoia), macOS Gatekeeper may present a dialog stating the app cannot be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store:
- Open System Settings on your Mac.
- Navigate to Privacy & Security.
- Scroll down to the Security section where you will see: "PluralEyes was blocked from use because it is not from an identified developer."
- Click Open Anyway and authenticate with your Mac password or Touch ID.
