Hi! I have been using playonmac for a while, but can't seem to fix this issue! I used it for running Steam, but had to delete it with all of its content and games because it was hogging my ssd. when I tried downloading it again (To the version Catelina version) It suddenly gave me the "...is damaged and can't be opened." How can I fix this issue? 
Thanks in advance

I just updated and am getting the same issue.  

 

edit.  So I just went to finder, show contents of app, went to 

contents, MacOS, and ran the script playonmac

and the app started without a problem. obviously not ideal, but it works

 

I also now made an alias or shortcut to the script and put it on the desktop.

 

so when I run the script it opens no problem but when I open the app it will not run.

I'm getting the same thing. Can't open. "Damaged and cannot be opened." I tried going into the package but had no success there. Nothing worked. It'd be nice to have a download of previous versions of the app, but I can't find it on the website. Good thing I have a backup.
