- If you have any other problems with the flatpak package try to look on the [FAQ](https://github.com/flathub/com.vscodium.codium?tab=readme-ov-file#faq) maybe the solution is already there or open an [issue](https://github.com/flathub/com.vscodium.codium/issues).

## <a id="macos"></a>macOS

Since the App is signed with a self-signed certificate, on the first launch, you might see the following messages:

#### <a id="macos-unidentified-developer"></a>*App can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software*

You can right-click the App and choose `Open`.

#### <a id="macos-quarantine"></a>*"VSCodium.app" is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin.*

The following command will remove the quarantine attribute.

```
xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/VSCodium.app
```
