Forcing `open` command to open unsigned app?
Create and add a Gatekeeper label to the app. (‘Approved’ is an arbitrary string.)

spctl --add --label "Approved" /path/to/xyz.app

Approve all apps with the label.

spctl --enable --label "Approved"


This only needs to be done once and adding the same named label to apps in the future automatically enables their access.
Open the app as usual.

open xyz.app
