--- Comment #3 from Urs Fleisch <ufleisch at users.sourceforge.net> ---
I am glad that you like Kid3. Did you have the opportunity to check whether the
other two packages I mentioned have the same problem? Also I have not heard
before that it is no longer possible to run an unsigned app by using the "Open"
action from the Finder or context menu and then selecting "Open" in the
confirmation dialog. Have you tried that?

At the time of writing this message, kid3-3.9.0-Darwin.dmg has been available
for less than a week and has been downloaded 1500 times. Since nobody else has
complained so far, there is a possibility that the program works (unless the
other 1499 downloaders are undemanding or not using Big Sur).

Concerning the signing of packages: See Bug 422123 to read why I am not willing
to pay USD 99 every year to a company which really does not need my money. Why
should projects which are completely free and do not earn any money pay money
to Apple? Maybe this tax will keep Apple fans from using using "unsecure" open
source software and limit them to "safe" Apple products. On
https://kid3.kde.org/#download you will find signatures for all binary
packages, so you can check if the package was really signed with my GPG key.
You could also get the source code and build the DMG using the build.sh script
in the top level source directory, you will also find instructions on how to do
so on macOS in the comment at the top of this script.
