IDE download error on MAC

[Clare105401]

Hi

I got a DFRobot beginner kit for my 13th birthday and am having problems downloading the IDEam trying to download the Arduino IDE software to my MAC. I am using the Catalina OS.

The error message is:

“Arduino 2 can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for Malicious software. The Software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for more information”

Do you have any idea what the problem is?

Kind regards, Clare.

Hi Clare,

The Catalina update has broken a lot of software. It might take a few weeks yet for things to catch up across the board, however, there is a workaround for Arduino until the fix is a part of the official build.
