How It Works:
When attempting to open the Aircall app after installation, you may encounter a security warning that says the app is from an unverified developer. This is due to macOS Gatekeeper settings and doesn't necessarily indicate a problem with the app.
To proceed:
- Go to Finder on your Mac.
- Locate the Aircall app in your Applications folder.
- Right-click (or Control + Click) the Aircall app icon.
- Select Open from the dropdown menu.
- A confirmation prompt will appear — click Open again.
After using this method once, the app will be recognized by macOS, and you should be able to open it normally in the future.
Tips for Best Use:
- Download from Official Sources: Always download the Aircall app from Aircall’s official website to avoid security conflicts.
- Use the Right-Click Method the First Time: This ensures macOS registers your trust in the app.
-
Keep macOS Updated: System updates may impact app verification, so staying current helps reduce issues.
FAQs:
Q: Why is the Aircall app marked as unverified?
- A: macOS Gatekeeper sometimes flags apps not directly notarized by Apple, even if they are safe and downloaded from a trusted source.
Q: Will I need to repeat this process every time I open the app?
- A: No, once you open it successfully using the right-click method, macOS remembers your choice and won’t prompt again.
Q: Is there another method to authorize the Aircall app?
- A: Yes. You can also follow this guide for authorizing downloads via System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
