Sometimes it won’t let you even get to that step without going into the settings and finding a secret security notification that it blocked it from opening
What version are you running? I just tried on Ventura, worked fine on both a .dmg package and some terminal script, both unsigned, and both would need the settings thing if I simply double clicked to open. You still get a prompt, but you have an “open anyways” option.
I’m on the latest version right now, but can’t remember a time I’ve actually installed something on this version. On at least the previous version I believe I had a mix of annoying and the “open anyways” prompt, and then before that just annoyance. I can’t remember exactly what I was installing off the top of my head though, sorry
I mean, macOS has a lot of issues but the one hoop needed to run any unsigned app is “right-click app icon, click open”.
Wait, you guys can right click now?
Yeah, shocking you can choose whichever mouse you want and probably have been able to since USB mice became a thing.
Even when apple mice didn’t have two buttons, you could right click via control + click.
I should probably get out more

I guess that is true, yes. I do think it’s generally a good thing that they’re locking down specific permissions like that though.
OMG thanks.
I think I actually knew this at some point but somehow it completely slipped my mind.
