Here is a code for the java, and for some strange reason, I got the warning text:

“chromedriver” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified". "macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware.

Even though I copied some suggestion codes, it does not work. What can I do about the “chromedriver” can not be opened because the developer can not be verified. Issue? Is there a better approach?

    The cause: If you are using a Jupyter Notebook, the error happens perhaps due to macOS Catalina is blocking chromedriver from running for security reasons.

    Solution: Run it from the command line and you can open it from Jupyter using driver = webdriver.Chrome(‘path/to/chromedriver).

  2. If an app isn’t signed or authenticated by macOS Mojave or macOS Catalina, it won’t install. To confirm that you are able to open the app or install it, click Open Anyway.


    %E2%80%9Cchromedriver%E2%80%9D%20cannot%20be%20opened%20because%20the%20developer%20cannot%20be%20verified.

    You can click on Open to bring up the warning prompt. *


    %E2%80%9Cchromedriver%E2%80%9D%20cannot%20be%20opened%20because%20the%20developer%20cannot%20be%20verified.

    You can now save the app as an exception to your security settings and open it later by double-clicking, just like any other authorized app.

    *If you are prompted to open Finder, control-click the app and choose Open from the menu. Then click Open in the dialogue that opens. To open the app, enter your administrator name and password.
