While configuring tunnel, I get an error “LT can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software”

I am not able to configure tunnel for local app testing, I always get an error “LT can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software”.

Catalina OS users may get the below error from the command line while trying to configure the Lambda Tunnel to test their locally hosted web pages: “LT can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software”

This error occurs due to the increased restrictions on third-party software, downloaded from the internet. Since Catalina OS is recently launched by Apple, we are working to make our Lambda Tunnel compatible with the new OS.

While we are at it, here is a one-time setup workaround. All you need to do is run the below command before you start configuring your Lambda Tunnel:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ./LT
