How to override security settings for downloading an app when 'the developer cannot be verified'
Hi,
I have recently purchased the MacBook Air 2020 ahead of the start of my Masters course.
For my course the university have provided a copy of SPSS to download, which I will need to use.
When I try to download this however, it stops me and comes up with the following message:
“libjvm.dylib” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.
macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware.
This file was downloaded on an unknown date.
I have tried to follow the recommended steps to resolve this, which are:
- In the Finder
on your Mac, locate the app you want to open. - Most apps can be found in the Applications folder.
- Control-click the app icon, then choose Open from the shortcut menu.
- Click Open.
- The app is saved as an exception to your security settings, and you can open it in the future by double-clicking it, just as you can any authorised app.
But this hasn't worked at all, does anyone know a way round this problem? the app is completely safe to use as provided directly from the university and I need to access it for the start of my first module.
Would greatly appreciate anyones help on this matter!
Thank you in advance :)
