If macOS will not open DockRun

DockRun
2 min read

DockRun is not sold through the App Store, so macOS checks it the first time you open it. This is normal, and it takes one extra click.

The normal prompt

The first time, macOS asks you to confirm that you want to open an app downloaded from the internet. Choose Open. You will not be asked again.

If it says it cannot verify the developer

Control-click (or right-click) DockRun in Applications and choose Open, then choose Open again in the dialog.

Or open System Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll to the message about DockRun and choose Open Anyway.

Still stuck?

Make sure DockRun is in Applications and not running from the disk image. If it still will not open, write to support and say which macOS version you have.
