[GNC] MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6 - recently updated to GNUCASH 4.0 and then 4.1 = app not opening

[David Reiser]

You can’t run it from the disk image. Drag it somewhere on your hard disk (usually the Applications folder) and run it from there. Once on your hard disk, try launching the app. If you don’t get the option to click an Open button, then you’ll have to right click on the app and choose Open from the pop-up.

Once gatekeeper has permission, it doesn’t interfere any more, and all subsequent launches work as expected.  My first attempt in a certain unreleased version finally seems to have fixed that problem, but we’ll see.
