Cannot be verified on launch on macOS

The newest version of shotcut won’t install on my Mac book pro OS15.5. Its says it can’t verify the download, possible malware. Any suggestion ?
Thank you!

I cannot fix this because Apple will not tell me what is the problem even after I run their verification tests that pass. You need to work around the problem. After you try to and it says this, you need to

  1. Go to Systems Settings > Privacy & Security
  2. Scroll down near the bottom to the Security section
  3. Click Open Anyway next to Shotcut
  4. Then, it gives you another warning dialog. Click Open Anyway
  5. Finally, it asks for your password or touch ID.

Regret to say that I am unhappy with forcing my mac to install so until this is sorted I will remain on the last accepted version that I installed. After all Apple are only looking after my interests in not verifying the latest version and rightly would have little sympathy if I ignored there advice.

How do I disable this new Apple security thing entirely? This never used to be a problem on this mac. It is today tho. I never should have “updated” the OS. Looks like Apple is trying to cram their crap store down my throat. The whole reason I downloaded this program is they broke iMovie and refuse to update it without an apple account - which I never made because of the garbage that comes with.

Can this misfeature be disabled entirely, so it doesn’t force a dozen menu steps to install freeware?

This is fixed for the next version 26.1 I am preparing now.
