System Setting: tug.org TextStudio.app and TexLive distribution not in the Apple trusted places for app

Why when I want to open an application TextStudio.app from the Tex Live distribution (which should be in the list of trusted places) ...I don't find the "Allow anyway" in the Security & Privacy ..I have to click once more to be able to see it ... then if I allow I still have to open again and then be able to click on the warning window to allow it again ... and then I still have to click allow to use disk when opened !!!!


Rubbish management!

TeXStudio is not part of the 2023 MacTeX (texlive) installation, nor part of the optional MacTeXtras package. It is a separate development effort written in C++/Qt without an Apple Developer license and is available from GitHub at this location. The MacTeX 2023 distribution is a universal binary build for X86_64 and Apple Arm64.


TeXStudio is an X86_64 application, and on an Apple Silicon device, when you run it, you may receive a prompt to install Rosetta 2 to perform byte code translation to Arm64.


There is no installer as once the app .zip file is opened you are left with the application name with the .app extension hidden. It is up to you to drag and drop this TeXStudio.app into your /Applications or /Applications/TeX folder location providing the Administrator password. The vendor also makes this comment about getting around the unidentifed developer issue:



This means that for a given version of this application, you need to control-click on the application and choose open, and on the resultant dialog, click Open again. Then you can double-click the TeXStudio application and it will open normally.


Eject the texstudio disk icon on the Desktop and you are done.
