As someone who works at an IT company, I must say that Apple's security measures can sometimes be overly strict. However, if you're facing issues when installing XAMPP and need to bypass these measures, you can try the following steps:
1. Retry opening the application.
2. Click "OK" when the error message appears.
3. Go to "System Preferences" > "Security & Privacy".
4. Unlock the preferences by clicking on the lock icon and entering your admin password.
5. In the "General" tab, you'll likely see a message stating that XAMPP was blocked because it's not from an identified developer. Click "Open Anyway".
6. A confirmation dialog will appear. Consider the risks and click "Open" if you're confident in your decision.
By following these steps, you should be able to install XAMPP without issues. Nevertheless, it's crucial to note that we always advise caution when bypassing security measures.
