KiCAD doesn't at iMac

[hajo]

Hi, cannot start KiCAD

KiCAD 5.1.5
MacOS 10.15.3

Any tips?

I can’t read that. Can you change your system to English? Might help when posting here. But, are you trying to download or start Kicad. That looks like a browser warning.

Loose translation:
“KiCad” can not be opened because the … can not be verified.
I’ve read something about this before recently, maybe this helps:

Well, malware and Safari I can read. That’s why I wasn’t sure if it was a download issue. So something thinks Kicad is malware or has perhaps been tampered with?

You should be able to work around by control-clicking the app icon, then choosing open. This should give you a warning popup where you can choose to open anyway.

Sorry, it is a message from MacOS " kicad can’t start because the developer cannot verified." The options are do to trash or cancel.

As @craftyjon wrote, just open Kicad with a Finder, and not with a Launcher as it does not support context menu.
