How to open it the first time

Wualab is downloaded straight from this site, not from the App Store. That's why the Mac asks you to confirm the first time:

  1. Open the .dmg file you downloaded and drag Wualab to the Applications folder.
  2. Open Wualab from Applications. The first time, the Mac says it can't check it for malicious software: click Done (don't move it to the Trash).
  3. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the bottom and click Open Anyway.
  4. Confirm with your password or Touch ID. You only do this the first time; after that it opens normally.

Why the warning appears and why it's safe

Apps that don't come from a store show that warning the first time. Wualab doesn't upload your files to the internet: everything is processed on your computer.

Nothing is installed on the phone: Wualab reads it over a cable. You don't need to turn on “Install unknown apps” or accept Play Protect warnings.

Check the file's fingerprint (optional)

To make sure the file is the original, compare its fingerprint with the one on this page:

Mac: shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/file.dmg

Windows (PowerShell): Get-FileHash $HOME\Downloads\file.exe
