“Processing.app” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software

Processing

Today I downloaded the newest version , but when I open the processing.app , it showed a window like this .

" “Processing.app” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software."

I feel puzzled . Did anyone met the same problem when they open the app in a Mac platform ? Is it normal ?

Are any other Mac users seeing issues with notarization on Catalina?

Yes @jeremydouglass I too get the same error

See setup
Version 10.15.5
Saw a similar post suggesting that Dev Beta 5 fixes it

Still get error
Processing.app” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software
This software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for more information.

@jeremydouglass Yes I am seeing the same on macOS 12.15 and Processing 4.0 beta 8

So when I downloaded it again, unpacked and executed it for the first time in the download folder it worked. The last time I unpacked it and moved it to the Applications folder first and then it didn’t work…Confusing, but anyway :slight_smile:
