After verifying the "unidentified app", i have to constantly go to system preferences to open to app which makes it very troublesome as i cannot double-click to open the "unidentified app" every time I log in to my mac. Is there a way where i can always allow the "unidentified app"?


iMac 27″, macOS 11.1

It should really only ask you once.


Open your Applications folder highlight the app

now press and hold the Control key and click on the app

from the sub menu click Open.

If you get the "this app came from an unidentified developer etc etc" dialogue

click on Open.

The next time you open the app you should not be asked again.
