Cannot Open this party app on Mac Catalina

Problem Elaborated; Cannot Open this party app on Mac Catalina

I am trying to run Intersystem cache on a Mac Catalina.

When I try to run the ‘control cache’ to start cache I get the ‘ccontrol” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.’ message.

There is no option to ‘open Anyway’ in System Preferences/Security & Privacy/General.

Ive tried deleting the quarantine attribute from the control file:

sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine control. which appears to execute however I still get the error above when I attempt to open the file. Any input appreciated.

How To Fix Cannot Open this party app on Mac Catalina

Check for an updated version of Caché, do so, then get in touch with Intersystems Support for Caché support.

For evading the security checks in the app:

Open a Mac application created by an unknown developer.

You receive a warning window if you attempt to open an app that isn’t created by a developer who has been identified by Apple. This doesn’t always imply that the app is broken. For instance, some applications were created prior to the start of developer ID registration.

The software hasn’t been evaluated, so macOS is unable to determine whether it has been updated or is broken since it was first distributed.

By adding malicious code to an app and then redistributing the affected app, malware is frequently distributed. Therefore, an app that isn’t registered and was created by an unknown developer could be malicious.

Finding an updated version of the software from the Mac App Store or an other app is the best course of action.

Follow these techniques to bypass your security settings and launch the app anyway:

  • Find the app you wish to open in the Finder on your Mac.
  • Use Launchpad for nothing for this. You cannot reach the shortcut menu using Launchpad.
  • To open an application, control-click it, then select Open from the shortcut menu.
  • Click Open.

The application is saved as an exception to your security settings, and you can double-click it to launch it later just like any other registered application.

Note: The Open Anyway button located in the General pane of the Security & Privacy preferences can also be used to make an exception for a restricted app. For about an hour following your attempt to launch the app, this button is accessible.

Select Apple menu > System Choices, Security & Privacy, then General to modify these preferences on your Mac.

See Protect your Mac from viruses to modify your security settings.
