approve the app by first right-clicking on the app and selecting Open from
the context menu. The Option key is not required.

<br>
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].<br>
<br>
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].<br>
<br>
Maybe the instructions are macOS version specific?<br>
<br>
Could a macOS expert propose an improvement to the instructions on
the QGIS website?<br>
<br>
Best regards.<br>
