📦 Unable to Open Skyline VPN .pkg File on macOS? Here’s the Solution!
If you encounter a "Cannot Open" or "Untrusted Developer" message when trying to install the Skyline VPN .pkg file on macOS, it is because macOS by default blocks applications from developers that are not officially certified by Apple.
✅ Solution: Manually Allow Installation
1️⃣ Try Right-Clicking to Open (Quickest Method)
-Locate the downloaded Skyline VPN .pkg file in Finder
-Right-click the file → Select "Open"
-If a warning message appears, click "Open Anyway" to proceed with the installation
2️⃣ Allow Installation via macOS System Settings
-Click the Apple menu (top left ) → System Settings (macOS Ventura and later) or System Preferences (macOS Monterey and earlier)
-Navigate to Privacy & Security → Scroll down to Security
-Under " Allow apps downloaded from", select " App Store and identified developers"
-If installation is still blocked, look for a system prompt under " Blocked Apps" and click " Allow Anyway"
3️⃣ Use Terminal to Manually Allow Installation (For Advanced Users)
If the above methods don’t work, you can use Terminal to bypass the restriction:
-Open Terminal (Press Command + Space, then search for " Terminal")
-Enter the following command (replace with the actual path of the .pkg file):
sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine ~/Downloads/SkylineVPN.pkg
-Press Enter, then enter your Mac login password (note: characters will not appear while typing)
Try double-clicking the .pkg file again to proceed with the installation
💡 Important Notes
