Hello,
I have to install Citrix Receiver on my MacBook Air 2022 running MacOS 13.3.1
I downloaded package from official Citrix site but when I try to install it prevents me and claims that package will damage my computer.
Practically I can't install it because whatever I do ... it does not allow me to continue.
At the same time I have this app on my another MacBook where it is running with no issue.
Likely I need to disable somewhere the option to prevent to install package downloaded from internet.
Could you please remind me where is this setting?

Thanks

Look in System Settings > Privacy & Security. It should be listed somewhere and it wants your authorization to allow it to install.

Member @ferrarr has a valid point.

System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy. On the left, locate Full Disk Access.

Then Click on the padlock (enter your Admin Password to open), then on the right negotiate to the Citrix app and drag it into the list to give it the access it probably requires.

Thanks Folks,
I will definitely try your advice.
Meanwhile I realized that Citrix has another product Citrix Workspace and it perfectly works for me

Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad that fixed your problem.

But I'm a bit surprised they didn't inform you of such information changes with your previous download.
