[Qgis-user] Verifying QGIS

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi David,
Tips for first launch (MacOS only)
<https://www.qgis.org/download/#tips-for-first-launch>

After installing QGIS, the first launch attempt may fail due to Apple’s
security framework.

*For macOS Sonoma and earlier:* To enable QGIS, command-click on its icon
in your Applications folder and select *Open* in the context menu. A
confirmation dialog will display where you need to click the *Open* button
again. This only has to be done once.

*For macOS Sequoia and newer:* To enable QGIS, command-click its icon in
your Applications folder and select *Open* from the context menu. A warning
dialog will appear; click the *Done* button. Next, navigate to *System
Settings > Privacy & Security* and scroll to the *Security* section. You
should see a message stating that *“QGIS” was blocked to protect your Mac*.
Click *Open Anyway*. A confirmation dialog will appear; click *Open Anyway*
again. This only has to be done once.

------------------

Apparently, it is not easy to correctly sign an Open Source software built
on top of many other Open Source libraries (geos, gdal, proj) etc. from
different developer sources.

However, the QGIS devs are trying to find a solution for this known
problem. Until then, please follow the steps listed above.
