macOS bans most of apps you download from the internet. The instruction in the above comment should work. Also check https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202491 for your information.

That only works on machines that can run software from non identified developers. In secure enviroments it would not work.

@Rokt33r app should be properly signed, workarounds only work macs with unsafe settings. In secure environment you should not be able to change those settings:

The app is properly signed. I think the problem is that we didn't upload our app to Apple. I'll check it.
