Developer cannot be verified macOS error/exception - a) Move to Trash b) cancel

Question

I am trying to run an application I installed from github.

However, when I do run it I continuously get the following MacOS exception:

<application> cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.

macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware

Then it gives me 2 options:

1) Move to Trash
2) Cancel

How do I disable this feature that is built into MacOS (10.15.2 (19C57)). In my prior MacOS version (cant remember which) I had no problems running applications I installed/downloaded from github.

The current MacOS won't even give me an option to override the security feature so I can run the application.

I don't care for this MacOS security feature. I want to disable it so I run programs that I install myself.

The application WADark that I am trying to run is NOT malware.

I've added a screenshot for your reference.

UPDATE***:

In the Security & Privacy Tab there isn't an option to Open Anyway which is described on Apple's support website here Open Anyway

I also have a problem opening the Chromium Browser, which use to launch fine prior to MacOS Catalina (see screenshot that complains about Chromium). And right-clicking the Chromium Browser app and then selecting Open still does not launch the app - I get the same Error/Exception. It too is NOT malware.

Answer 1

After you see the dialog box with Move to trash and Cancel:

1. Click Cancel or OK on newer versions of MacOS

2. Open up System Preferences

3. Go to Security and Privacy -> General

4. There will be a message about the program that was blocked, with the option to Open Anyway
