Hi, I just installed POM, but when I try to launch it I am told that macOS cannot verify that it isn't malware, and when I bypass this in settings the app does not launch. Does anyone know how I might get around this? Thanks

Hi Ocuin,

i have the same issue! i couldn´t install POM 4.3.4. I have also tried version 4.3.3... it doesn´t work!

When I try to launch it I am told that macOS cannot verify that it isn't malware, and when I bypass this in settings the app does not launch.

Same issue at girlfirends pc with 10.15.1.

When I try to launch it I am told that macOS cannot verify that it isn't malware, and when I bypass this in settings the app does not launch.

Select Ok.  Then you have to go to System Preferences and unlock to make changes, then mark that it is okay to run programs from the developer.  Then "open anyway."  After that, you still won't be able to play it if you have Catalina.   PlayOnMac is currently not compatible with Catalina, and neither is wine.   We just have to wait for them to update it, which I am sure they are working very hard on.
