how to bypass mac os 10.15 security on opening 3rd party apps that are not identified

How does one bypass mac os 10.15 security on opening 3rd party apps that are not identified? It seems Apple left out in the Security and Privacy preference "Anyone" for opening apps and/or installing them.

I believe there will be a way in a later DP but it will only apply to notarized/hardenedd applications. You might or might not be able to do depending on the nature of the app and if the developer is planning to iterate the installer schema.

In Finder, right-click on the app and select open in the contextual menu.

The "anyone" option disappeared, I believe, with High Sierra. It's not in Mojave, in any case. As above, just right/control click on whatever you're trying to open, and choose "open" and then confirm that's what you're trying to do.

Right click works on standalone apps, not sure it will it will in a later DP. That said, I've run into several installers including some of apples own that aren't working because their schema and rights have to be updated - fail with various errors codes, some of which are blank because they aren't defined yet. Kind of crazy and a first time I've seen that in a DP but kind of fun too. Really gives you the feeling of work in progress

This terminal command brings back the option to "open anywhere" although some things still don't seem to open.

sudo spctl --master-disable

Thanks! This solved my issue with Firefox not opening due to the update app being blocked and not unblockable

It’s there or something similar is because I had to use it the other night to install an app. I’ll have to look when I get home but I’ll screenshot it here.

I agree with you but couldn't get it to work 10.15.beta 2. Maybe a bug.

That worked. Thank you.

You don't have to bypass security settings to get firefox working. Just go into the package by right-clicking on it "show package contents" click the Contents folder, MacOS folder and rename Firefox Software Update something else. Problem solved.

So it's not that you can't go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > general tab, and actually, see the prompt to allow the one time install by unlocking with your admin password. You more or less want an option not to have to do that each time?
