How can I “Open an app from an unidentified developer” without using the GUI?
Solution 1:
You'll either have to change the settings under System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General > Allow applications downloaded from: to Anywhere or in a Terminal, strip the xattr
com.apple.quarantine attribute from the downloaded file(s).
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "unidentified_thirdparty.app"
