FL Studio FL Studio for Native OS X (ALPHA/BETA) installer error.

You receive this error from Gatekeeper. This program prevents malware to get installed on your Mac by checking the certificate from the app that tries to install.

As the FL Studio for OS X/macOS is still in development, and can only be downloaded from our secured forum, we have not applied for a 'trusted certificate' from Apple. The final version will use a trusted certificate.

How to bypass Gatekeeper for our OS X beta installer only.
Instead of double-clicking on the app in question to open it, here's what you do:

1. Ctrl+click or right click on the app and select Open from the contextual menu.
2. This time you'll see a popup asking you to Open or Cancel instead of a message saying the app can't be opened at all.
3. Click Open if you're sure that the app is from a trusted source.
