When I go to open the desktop app I have built it says “Hemeka Desktop App” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.

What do I need to do to sort this please?

Hello,
Seeing this warning message, I assume you’re on MacOS with Notarization Check enabled.

Right click on the file and choose open from the menu.

If that does not work go to System Preferences>Security & Privacy>General, set ‘Allow Apps etc’ to ‘Anywhere’. Change it back after you download this app.

Be aware that bypassing the normal security settings is not safe, and that if you distribute your app to the outside world, you’ll surely have to notarize it with Apple for your users to not have this warning message.
