Installing App on Mac results in "is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Bin."

When I try to drag the application file into my application folder, macOS gives me the error that says that the application was damaged and can't be opened and that I should move it to the trash.

Specifically I am doing this here with the Gravio HubKit App.

In the case of Gravio, this is likely to mean one of two things:

  • that there are still some files in /usr/local/bin/Gravio* which were not removed properly during the last uninstall
  • that there is already a folder in /usr/local/bin/Gravio* from a previous installation

You can fix it by backing up the Gravio related files in this folder:

sudo open /usr/local/bin/

Copy the files to a safe folder.

And then remove the files using the command

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/Gravio*

Then perform the installation again.
