libjvm.dylib cannot be open- MacOS Monterey

This is actually this question: libjvm.dylib cannot be open- MacOS Monter… - Apple Community

I tried to answer but the system didn't let me and required to ask the same question again, so here it is:

quoted:

Hi,

I have to install an image analysis software that I trust (Imaris-Bitplane). However, I need to run the Matlab MCR 2014, which requires to open libjvm.dylib

However, I cannot open it because cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.

After going to Preferences/Security& Privacy/, I do not see the "Allow anyway".

It is only when I cancel the opening of the dylib, that the "Allow anyway" shows up. I continue clicking on it, but it is stuck and doesn't go away, and doesn't allow me to open this dylib.

It is pretty anoying, more becasue I trust Matlab people!

Thanks for your help

Chloe

And here is the answer; I found a work-around by trial and error on my Mac Mini M1 with Monterey; in my case it is an application dynamically loading libSDL2.dylib. As described in the question I copied from Chloe the system doesn't let me run this app because the dylib cannot be verified. As a work-around I just selected the dylib in the Finder and executed "Open with"+ Terminal from the Finder context menu; the system asks me for permission which I grant; the terminal opens but I just close it; after this step when I execute my original app it no longer complains and just lets the app load the dylib. Without the complicated procedure recommended here: libjvm.dylib cannot be open- MacOS Monter… - Apple Community.

Maybe Apple will have mercy and offer a solution that also allows a reasonable deployment without every user having to perform this procedure for every dylib. I don't want to pay money to deploy precompiled versions of my open source application, and libSDL2.dylib is even third-party, not compiled by me.

My app is the Oberon+ IDE (see https://github.com/rochus-keller/Oberon/) which allows users to write applications in the Oberon+ programming language; these applications can access shared libraries (such as libSDL2.dylib) by the Oberon+ foreign language interface.
