Solution 1: Make sure you have dragged the app to /Applications to complete the installation. Access /Applications in Finder and find the app, right click the app icon, choose Open menu item in pop-up right menu. Then click “Open” button in the pop-up window. Solution 2: Contact with the developer to update and notarize the app. Here's how to run apps that won't be launched by macOS Catalina: First, users will need to launch System Preferences on their Mac or MacBook. Second, after launching the app, users will need to.
Apps that are set to open automatically will have a check mark next to Open at Login. Tap that option to uncheck it and disable it from opening. Disable Login Items on Startup.
The safest place to get apps for your Mac is the App Store. Apple reviews each app in the App Store before it’s accepted and signs it to ensure that it hasn’t been tampered with or altered. If there’s ever a problem with an app, Apple can quickly remove it from the store.
If you download and install apps from the internet or directly from a developer, macOS continues to protect your Mac. When you install Mac apps, plug-ins, and installer packages from outside the App Store, macOS checks the Developer ID signature to verify that the software is from an identified developer and that it has not been altered. By default, macOS Catalina also requires software to be notarized, so you can be confident that the software you run on your Mac doesn't contain known malware. Before opening downloaded software for the first time, macOS requests your approval to make sure you aren’t misled into running software you didn’t expect.
Running software that hasn’t been signed and notarized may expose your computer and personal information to malware that can harm your Mac or compromise your privacy.
View the app security settings on your Mac
By default, the security and privacy preferences of your Mac are set to allow apps from the App Store and identified developers. For additional security, you can chose to allow only apps from the App Store.
In System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, then click General. Click the lock and enter your password to make changes. Select App Store under the header “Allow apps downloaded from.”
Open a developer-signed or notarized app
If your Mac is set to allow apps from the App Store and identified developers, the first time that you launch a new app, your Mac asks if you’re sure you want to open it.
An app that has been notarized by Apple indicates that Apple checked it for malicious software and none was detected:
Prior to macOS Catalina, opening an app that hasn't been notarized shows a yellow warning icon and asks if you're sure you want to open it:
If you see a warning message and can’t install an app
If you have set your Mac to allow apps only from the App Store and you try to install an app from elsewhere, your Mac will say that the app can't be opened because it was not downloaded from the App Store.*
If your Mac is set to allow apps from the App Store and identified developers, and you try to install an app that isn’t signed by an identified developer or—in macOS Catalina—notarized by Apple, you also see a warning that the app cannot be opened.
If you see this warning, it means that the app was not notarized, and Apple could not scan the app for known malicious software.
You may want to look for an updated version of the app in the App Store or look for an alternative app.
If macOS detects a malicious app
If macOS detects that an app has malicious content, it will notify you when you try to open it and ask you to move it to the Trash.
How to open an app that hasn’t been notarized or is from an unidentified developer
Running software that hasn’t been signed and notarized may expose your computer and personal information to malware that can harm your Mac or compromise your privacy. If you’re certain that an app you want to install is from a trustworthy source and hasn’t been tampered with, you can temporarily override your Mac security settings to open it.
In macOS Catalina and macOS Mojave, when an app fails to install because it hasn’t been notarized or is from an unidentified developer, it will appear in System Preferences > Security & Privacy, under the General tab. Click Open Anyway to confirm your intent to open or install the app.
The warning prompt reappears, and you can click Open.*
The app is now saved as an exception to your security settings, and you can open it in the future by double-clicking it, just as you can any authorized app.
*If you're prompted to open Finder: control-click the app in Finder, choose Open from the menu, and then click Open in the dialog that appears. Enter your admin name and password to open the app.

Photos app helps us preserve our most precious memories, enabling us to easily manage, edit, and share digital photos. But from one day to the next, you may lose access to your photo library because photos app won’t open on Mac OS 10.15.
If you didn’t back up your photos libraries and have no other way of accessing them when photos doesn’t open on Mac OS 10.15, don’t despair. Try out these quick solutions.
How to Repair Photos App won’t Open in macOS 10.15
Confirm the Source of the Problem
The first thing to do is to determine if it’s a specific or system wide issue. To do this, try using the app in another user account.

To test for the source of the problem by using another Mac account,
1. If you’re testing with an existing user account, simply log out of the current account by clicking on “Apple Menu > Log Out”, and then log in with the other account. However, a new account is better suited for this test.

2. To open a new user account, go to “Apple menu > System Preferences > User & Groups”, and then click on the lock icon and enter your admin name and password. Click on the add button (+) afterwards and then fill out the fields for a standard or administrator account, and then click “OK”.
3. Next, ensure your new account contains a copy of your photos library. Before you log out of your current account and log in with the new one, drag and drop your photos library to the Shared folder of the User’s folder (~/Users/Shared). You can then move them to a folder in the new account after logging in.
4. After logging into your new account and loading the shared files, try opening your Photos app again. If the issue doesn’t occur in the new account, then the issue is related to the settings used in the other account. In this case, you may need to contact Apple support to get help. But if the problem re-emerges in the new account then the problem is system-wide. You can try resolving it through Safe Mode.
5. Get rid of the newly created account after you’re done with the tests. To do this, follow step 2, but click on remove (-) instead of the add (+), and then select the newly created file.
Run Safe Mode
When you turn on Safe Mode, your Mac initiates automatic system checks to declutter your Mac, isolate third-party problems, and deactivate login items that might prevent your Mac’s smooth operations.
To activate Safe Mode,
1. Boot or reboot your Mac, and then press down the “Shift” key simultaneously. Release the key when the login window appears. If you have a Filevault encryption on your startup disk, you may need to log in twice: first to unlock the startup disk, and then to log into Finder.
2. To ensure your Mac is successfully running in Safe Mode, use System Information to confirm. Open your Apple menu, and then navigate to System Information. If you find a Boot Mode value that says “Safe”, then Safe Mode is running, but if you find “Normal” instead, then the Safe Mode isn’t active.
3. Now, if the issue doesn’t occur in Safe Mode, try restarting normally. If the problem goes away, it must be thanks to the decluttered hard disk resulting from the Safe Mode operation. But if the issue persists, you may be dealing with incompatible login items.
4. At this point, you may need to get help with the Photos app on Mac Os 10.15 by contacting Apple support. When reporting the issue, don’t forget to mention all the symptoms you observed, and also all the steps you’ve taken on your own so far to address the issue.
