(2) If your macOS is Sierra 10.12 or higher: In System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General, you can not see the Anywhere option under All apps downloaded from. But you can restore this option with a terminal command: sudo spctl–master-disable. After executing this command in your terminal, relaunch System Preferences and enter Security & Privacy > General. You can see the Anywhere option under All apps downloaded from, check it, and reopen Moon Link app.
(3) For your information, you can always use a terminal command: sudo spctl–master-enable to re-enable Gatekeeper."
Still having problems?
If the problem still can’t be solved, including but not limited to not being able to add video files, not being able to search for the device, etc., you can try uninstalling the Moon Link first, and then reinstalling the latest version on the official website. We recommend that you also reinstall Moon VR Player.
