Unity standalone app blocked by security preferences
Hey everyone, I'm an independent Unity developer. Lately I've been hearing that my standalone application builds are being blocked by most computer's security settings. I've found this has been happening most frequently on newer MACs.
In the past the way around this has been cntrl clicking the app and opening it that way. But now that method appears void. Very worried about this for the sake of my current & future projects. Please advise on how to either register an app so that its recognized as safe software, or how to make a standalone player build which bypasses security preferences. Thank you!

Apple assume that every application that a user launches will have been downloaded from AppStore. If it's been downloaded from a website, then the user needs to use the Security settings to say that the downloaded app can be launched. This is not a Unity issue.
