To run the app if you get a warning saying that the app is either “damaged” or the developer is “unidentified” (this is because prototype is not signed):
- open a Terminal window (open Spotlight with ⌘+space and look for “terminal”)
- copy
xattr -crand drag & drop DoomDash.app into the terminal, so your command will be:xattr -cr <path to app>/DoomDash.app - press enter, and close the Terminal window
