“macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware”: a workaround for the alert

When trying to open a just-installed app on your Mac, you may bump into a problem that seems to be an insurmountable obstacle upon rudimentary examination. The system will sometimes respond to such attempts by triggering a pop-up alert that says, “[App name] cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified”. The message also includes a phrase going, “macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware”.
