Seeing "developer cannot be verified"?
macOS Gatekeeper protects users from apps from unknown developers. For new apps, Gatekeeper requires explicit confirmation before opening.
We're a new developer and Apple's verification of our account isn't complete yet. Until it is, macOS treats TestSolve as "unverified" — even though the app is safe.
The path below opens it in a few steps. macOS remembers your choice forever — you only do this once.
How to open it (macOS 15 Sequoia and newer)
- Open the .dmg you downloaded. Drag TestSolve into your Applications folder.
- Try opening TestSolve once. macOS will block it. Click Done — not "Move to Trash", which deletes the app.
- Open System Settings → Privacy & Security (on older macOS: System Preferences → Security & Privacy).
- Scroll down to the Security section. You'll see "TestSolve was blocked to protect your Mac." Click Open Anyway. (The button shows for about an hour after the blocked launch — if it's gone, just try opening TestSolve again.)
- Click Open Anyway again in the dialog and enter your Mac password.
- TestSolve launches. macOS remembers this choice — you won't be asked again.
On macOS 14 Sonoma or older: right-click
Older macOS versions also allow a shortcut. Apple removed it in macOS 15 Sequoia, so on newer Macs use the steps above.
- Open the Applications folder in Finder.
- Right-click (or Control-click) on the TestSolve app icon.
- Choose Open from the context menu.
- In the dialog, click Open again. macOS remembers this and won't ask again.

What if macOS won't let me open it at all?
If there's no Open Anyway button even right after a blocked launch (some managed or work Macs hide it), you can clear the download flag instead:
- Open Terminal (Spotlight: ⌘ + Space, type "Terminal").
- Run this command (the
xattrtool strips the quarantine flag macOS added when you downloaded the file):xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/TestSolve.app - Try opening TestSolve again. It should launch normally.
Will the warning go away over time?
Yes — once Apple has verified us as a developer, we can notarize the app: Apple scans it, confirms it's clean, and digitally stamps it. After that, the warning disappears for everyone.
Until then, every Mac user sees this warning once. Thanks for sticking with it.
