After an unsuccessful launch open Systems Preferences -> Privacy &
Security and you might find a butto to allow it anyway.
You can also issue
sudo spctl --master-disable
it will ask you for your password and you must be an admin for this.
If you try again it should go through.

i want to use lyx fairly frequently, but everytime i restart my computer i
am not able to load the application on my mac big sur 11.3.1. when i try to
open lyx, i get the dialog:
*“LyX.app” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious
software.*
This software needs to be updated.
