Whenever someone downloads one of my games, it always says this error.

Any suggestions why?

Or maybe some to fix it?

The anti virus is flagging it as a potential virus because not enough users have run it. This is a very common issue for indie game devs and most users know to just run the software anyway.

 If you're worried that this warning will deter users from playing your game, you can always make your games to run in-browser.

I’ll try that. Thank you so much, I’ll follow u

1. The player can do this :

Go to System Preferences:

Open "System Preferences" from the Apple menu.

Select "Security & Privacy."

In the "General" tab, you should see a message about the blocked app. Click "Open Anyway."

2.the developer can avoid this issue in the future by:

Signing the application with an Apple Developer ID.

Distributing the app through the Apple App Store.

Look above that place:

My parents already know I use itch.io and make models and games.
