Matlab R2022b installer fails during MacOS indentity check w/ wrong application checksum message

Hello,

I receive a MacOS warning pop-up during installation of R2022b. The pop-up complains that the application checksum has been modified and does not match the version used for identity verification.

I actually do not want to install with failing checksums.

Best regards,

Tom

Hi Tom,

As per my understanding, you are facing an issue with MacOS warning pop-up complains that the application checksum has been modified and does not match the version used for identity verification.

The warning pop-up that you’re seeing is the security feature of the MacOS, that are designed to prevent unauthorized changes to system files and applications. If the checksum of the application has been modified, it means that the application has been altered in some way since it was originally signed by the developer.

It's not recommended to install software with failing checksums as this can compromise the security and stability of your system. I would suggest you try downloading the R2022b installer again from the official website or source, to ensure that you have the original unmodified version
