這個 App 尚未經過 Apple 公證，第一次開啟時 macOS 會顯示「Apple 無法驗證是否含有惡意軟體」並拒絕開啟。最快的解法是一行指令，適用所有 macOS 版本：
xattr -cr /Applications/FullScreenLauncher.app這會移除下載時被加上的隔離屬性，執行後就能正常雙擊開啟。
不想用指令？依系統版本手動處理
macOS 15 (Sequoia) 以上
Apple 從 macOS 15 起移除了「右鍵打開」這個繞過方式，改成必須到系統設定確認：
- 雙擊 App，出現警告視窗後按「完成」
- 開啟「系統設定」→「隱私權與安全性」
- 往下捲到「安全性」區塊，會看到「已阻擋使用 "FullScreenLauncher"」
- 按「強制打開」（Open Anyway），可能需要指紋或密碼驗證
- 再次雙擊 App，於對話框按「打開」
macOS 12 ~ 14
在 Finder 中右鍵點擊 App → 選「打開」→ 於對話框再按一次「打開」。
自己編譯的 App 不會有隔離屬性，完全不會遇到上面的問題。
# 複製專案
git clone https://github.com/aurocoredev/FullScreenLauncher.git
cd FullScreenLauncher
# 使用 build script 編譯
./build.sh
# 或手動編譯（-target 一定要給，否則只能在編譯當下的系統版本執行）

This app isn't notarized by Apple yet, so the first launch is refused with "Apple could not verify this app is free of malware". The quickest fix is one command, and it works on every macOS version:
xattr -cr /Applications/FullScreenLauncher.appThat removes the quarantine flag added during download. Double-click works normally afterwards.
Prefer not to use the terminal? Steps per macOS version
macOS 15 (Sequoia) and later
Apple removed the right-click → Open shortcut in macOS 15. You now have to confirm in System Settings:
- Double-click the app, then dismiss the warning with "Done"
- Open System Settings → Privacy & Security
- Scroll down to the Security section, where you'll see that FullScreenLauncher was blocked
- Click Open Anyway and authenticate with Touch ID or your password
- Double-click the app again and choose "Open" in the dialog
macOS 12 to 14
Right-click the app in Finder → choose "Open" → click "Open" again in the dialog.
An app you compile yourself never gets the quarantine flag, so none of the above applies.
# Clone the project
git clone https://github.com/aurocoredev/FullScreenLauncher.git
cd FullScreenLauncher
# Build with the build script
./build.sh
# Or compile manually (always pass -target, otherwise the binary only runs on the OS you built it on)
