When I double-click on 7.16.2 "BOINC Installer.app", a pop-up window appears saying Apple can not verify the app.

How can Install BOINC 7.16.2? Only with a command "sudo spctl --master-disable"?
There is no explanation about this into the readme.rtf file.

BOINC v7.16.2 has been withdrawn.

Please wait for v7.16.3, probably tomorrow.

That will be something fun for me to do on the train to Dundee, I think I might need to tether my phone and use 4g as I suspect the free wifi has a usage limit.

If it's anything I have had to cope with the past days, that's about 200MB before it cuts out. The BOINC installer should be a lot smaller? 😁

This is most likely because the installer was not notarized. According to Apple:
Important
Beginning in macOS 10.14.5, all new or updated kernel extensions and all software from developers new to distributing with Developer ID must be notarized in order to run. Beginning in macOS 10.15, notarization is required by default for all software.

Until this is corrected, the easiest workaround is to control-click on BOINC Installer in the Finder and select Open from the pop-up menu. This will allow you to bypass Gatekeeper and run the BOINC installer.
