macOS says the app “can't be opened”?

DevNotify is an independent app and is not notarized by Apple yet. macOS shows this warning for every app without an Apple certificate — it does not mean anything is wrong. Two ways past it:

1. Right-click DevNotify.app in Applications and choose Open, then click Open again in the dialog. You only do this once.
2. Or remove the quarantine flag in Terminal:
   xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/DevNotify.app
