Pre-installation Step| Note |
|---|
There has been a permission change that Apple implemented since Catalina (macOS 10.15.X) where an Apple Certificate is expected (the presented Apica Certificate is no longer accepted) and changes the installer package so that it cannot autoinstall because the executables have been changed to text files. This only means that Apple-Certified installation packages will be automatically installed. The installation package is still valid with the Apica Certificate and can be installed with a few extra steps. In these cases, you will get an alert that will need a small workaround. |
✅ This can be easily corrected by the few steps listed on these preinstallation steps here.
 Or, please visit our Apica Community to a page, Installation file can't be opened in macOS Catalina, that contains the technical steps to change the permissions that allow the installation to proceed. |  Image Modified |
