MacOS force open app.md

Some apps are not signed and MacOS automatically quarantines them, because they might be malicious. Usually one would just need to right-click on the app and press open to bypass the warning, but that sometimes doesn't work. The sure- fire way to just get it to work is by removing the quarantine flag via the terminal:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/[app name].app

After you ran this command then the app will open as usual.
