Hi Alex and Mark,
This isn't a bug in digiKam, but is caused by the way macOS validates packages.
 Since digiKam is an open-source project, we don't have the keys to sign the
program the way Apple wants it.  In a commercial package, Apple would issue
keys to the company to sign the program with "official" keys.  That's the
codesign command you added below.  By doing codesign yourself, you are
authorizing the program to run on your computer.

We appreciate the tip about codesign.  We'll add that to the documentation.

Cheers,
Mike
