Installing apps on Mac is easy. All you’ve to do head over to the App Store, search for the app and install it. That’s what Apple recommends. Installing apps from other sources is never easy and will be blocked when tried to install even after downloaded. They are blocked by a specific security feature which is called Gatekeeper. Here’s how to Allow Third-Party Apps to Install on macOS Catalina.

This feature blocks unknown apps for security reasons that are out of the App Store. Installing unidentified apps out of the App Store is not checked from Apple and might make some problem. This useful feature is on most popular operating systems like Windows but in a different form. While there are many reasons for this feature, one of the reasons for this is the security reasons and also because most apps are on the App Store and there’s not much required to install. Now here’s how to Allow Third-Party Apps to Install on macOS Catalina.

Oftentimes are when you will need to install an app that are not in the App Store list. At this point, there’s likely you’ll see an error of the “System Extension Blocked”. This is certainly pointing to the security feature that is blocked by the Gatekeeper. Like fixing macOS Catalina Screen Resolution on VMware. But this feature is probably modifiable.

By default, when macOS is installed, Gatekeeper is set to allow apps from the App Store and identified developers. This setting can be however changed to allow installation from unknown sources which will fix the problem. This problem can appear on macOS Catalina installed on VMware or install macOS Catalina on VirtualBox or on actual Mac. Doesn’t matter where it is installed, it will allow the installation of third-party apps no matter where they are installed. Here’s how to fix the error and how to Allow Third-Party Apps to Install on macOS Catalina.

    I have a Ryzen 5 3400G, and with a friends Mac I created a Catalina ISO (google it, despite the terminal thing is actually very easy to do). Mounted the ISO and I’m currently installing! Those VBoxManage commands are just wonderful. Also, I’m installing with an Ubuntu host.

    Thanks for great info, and it really does restore
    the “Anywhere”-option.
    But my .jar-installer still gets the same error,
    perhaps it works better with other file types.
