First launch / Three guided moves
From blocked to open, without guessing.
The warning is part of the current beta signing flow. Keep the first dialog available, follow Apple’s security route, and approve only the PractiPix app downloaded from this website.
Approve the source, not just the filename.
Use this override only for PractiPix downloaded from the official PractiPix download page. Do not approve an unexpected copy received from another website, message, or file-sharing service.
