[Qgis-user] Mac problem

[Thayer Young]

 Hi Andrea,
I have not upgraded to 13 yet, but on 12.6 my experience is the same as John Layt's, with no requirement for holding down Option. 

I would add however, that I always have to launch QGIS twice after a fresh install. The first can be a double click, right click or command-O from finder or a Dock alias that gets me to the "malicious software" prompt. The second attempt to launch is where you need to do the right or control click the QGIS.app (or QGIS-LTR.app, or QGIS-DEV.app) as he describes.

So the instructions ("right-click on the QGIS app icon, hold down the 
Option key, then choose Open") on the QGIS website [1] are wrong? See a 
comment by a macOS 13.0 user complaining that "If you hold the option 
key you cannot choose Open" [2].

Moreover, the instructions by Apple at [3] say: "in Finder locate the 
app then Control-click the app icon -> Open -> Open". It seems this 
worked for a macOS 13.0 user [4].

Maybe the instructions are macOS version specific?

Could a macOS expert propose an improvement to the instructions on the 
QGIS website?

Best regards.
