Hello
I upgraded to Mojave over the weekend and I cant not get Thinkorswim my trading platform to install. It comes across as unsigned....so no older or current download will work. To allow unsigned third party apps option is no longer available as well...what do I do....keeps saying its damaged and its not as well ....thanks!!!

iMac Pro, macOS Mojave (10.14), null
Fixed it.
Go > Utilities > Terminal
2. Type in: sudo spctl --master-disable
3. Navigate to the Apple icon in the top left > System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Under the “Allow apps downloaded from:” section set the setting to “Anywhere”.
4. Install thinkorswim by double clicking on the downloaded installer (even if it previously said it was damaged)
5. After install thinkorswim and would like to revert the Gatekeeper setting simply run this command in terminal “sudo spctl --master-enable”.
Thanks
Fixed it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this! Worked perfectly.
I install unsigned apps all the time just by right/control clicking. Plus you don't normally get a file is corrupt message but a not allowed message. Then there is the fact the file was a dmg inside a dmg which is highly unusual.
FWIW, you are at least the third post with the same issue with thinkorswim. The download is not a dmg file despite its extension. That's why it fails.
I hear you..it because its not a certified (signed)third party app..they just hid what was once easy...no worries. Its an extra layer of control apple thinks they are putting over the OS in being sure all applications are validated. MS is doing the same. TOS was unsigned for apple and labeled a no to install..

I ran sudo spctl master-disable in the terminal and I still get the file is damaged. I tried redownloading and opening the file with failed results. Should I just downgrade from Mojave?
Copy then paste this into the Terminal…
sudo spctl --master-disable
It needs updated to run/install in Mojave. Contact the developer.

In Mojave..applications will say obtained from apple, mac app store or identified developer...every application that says unknown in my list..including my printer didnt work. In all my previous versions I never had an issue either like you. Like I said, they are tweaking things and trying to push developers to certify all apps thru the Mac store in a similiar fashion as IOS. Remember..Apple is attempting to standardize all OSs and frameworks to work exactly the same way. Apple wants to certify everything on your Mac..and eventually you will only be able to download from the store and all developers will be forced to publish. This is them testing the waters and giving ample warning to third party developers...in my opinion. Have a good one.
So this is why my printer/scanner is no longer working properly! How did you get your printer to work again, or did you? *Same as above --master-disable?
Good find. One is not supposed to have to disable Gatekeeper just to mount a .dmg file. Plus, normally you can disable Gatekeeper by right/control clicking on a file and choose "Open". Very strange.

ThinkorSwim and other apps no longer work
