I am unable to open Epic Games Launcher on Mac- 'identity of developer cannot be confirmed'

[jonaherof_1 (jonaherofeyeff)]

I downloaded UDK (after updating OXS) and that all worked but then i tried to open it and it says this ‘“Epic Games Launcher” can’t be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed’. Any ideas on how I can open it?
Thanks.

Easy fix, So go to System Preference’s. Security And Privacy Go to Privacy and add it through that way.
Another way is also by going to System Preference, Security And Privacy Again, General, Buttom say’s Allow Apps download from, Anywhere there another way. but it can be a pain, you gotta youtube that.

Simply open System Preference → Security & Privacy From General tab

open lock to make changes

change Allow apps downloaded from Anywhere

Please do not follow these suggestions and do not check Allow apps downloaded from Anywhere. This opens up your computer to potentially run harmful software/malware, breaking the intent of the OSX Gatekeeper. Until the signing error can be fixed, open this application by right-clicking (control-click) the Epic Games Launcher icon in the Applications Finder window.

This will present a dialog stating “Epic Games Launcher” can’t be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed. You will see an Open button. Click the Open button and the app will open normally and will open normally from this point on.

There is a problem with the application signature:

$ codesign -v /Applications/Epic\ Games\ Launcher.app/
/Applications/Epic Games Launcher.app/: **a sealed resource is missing or invalid**

Unsure what the problem is, but this is the result of codesign -dvvv:
