Originally created by @gu-does-git on GitHub (Jan 21, 2021).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1032

Describe the bug
I can't install the app on a MacBook since the Gatekeeper doesn't let me install it, it says "Barrier cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified".

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Download the latest MacOS Build;
Run the .dmg file;
Try to open the app.

Desktop:

OS: MacOS
Barrier version: Latest

Additional context
I know by going into the security configs I can let unsigned apps be installed, but due to security reasons I can't do that on this specific MacBook.
Any possibility of signing the app with Apple?
If it cannot be signed, how can I get a security report on this app?

You can override Gatekeeper on a per-app basis by right-clicking the app and selecting "Open". You'll get the same screen, but there will be an option to continue anyway.

I am only seeing the options Move to Bin and Cancel. Disclaimer I'm new to MacOS.

I'm also running into this issue. I can't even open it when going into system preferences and clicking "open anyway" in the security settings.

This is likely because the folks seeing this issue have company/organization-issued macs, and the policy has been set to not allow applications to be installed that haven't been vetted by Apple. Until barrier is signed and submitted to Apple, this will be the case.

Yes, see #448. Barrier can't be signed and submitted at this time. Unfortunately, I will have to close, as there's nothing I/we can do at the moment. Sorry.
