The application is not damaged or corrupted, it is only a security issue.

To be identified as an identified developer, you must register with the Apple Developer Service for an annual fee. Logfly is developed in the open source and free open access spirit for the pilot community.

Since High-Sierra or other versions of Mac OS X such as Ventura, Monterey, BigSur, Catalina or Mojave, the option to install applications from non-Apple certified developers has disappeared.

Solution

You will have to launch the Terminal and be connected as administrator. If it is your personal Mac, it will always be the case. Then you have to type the following code:

xattr -cr /Applications/logfly.app

Above, the icon on the right allows you to copy the line of code and then paste it into the terminal.

mac_terminal

This command adds Logfly to the exception list of the Gatekeeper integrated protection system.

Here is a complete tutorial on how to do it.
