Sorry, I don't use a mac -- could you clarify about ctrl-click to accept? Can you bypass the approved developer check box in system preferences with a right click on the `.app` folder?

Effectively - if you don't have "only app store" selected in gatekeeper, you can bypass the 'unidentified developer' option as well as the message when an app isn't notarized.

Macs famously only supply one button, so right click and control-click are two names for the same thing.

Macs ceased to "famously supply" only one mouse button about a billion years ago.

Once you launch an app around the restrictions you don't need to do it again.
