I disabled Gatekeeper by following these instructions: http://osxdaily.com/2016/09/27/allow-apps-from-anywhere-macos-gatekeeper/

Installed Catalina this morning and am getting these errors when trying to access File System:
“kantu-xy-host” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.
“kantu-file-access-host” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.
I’m also trying to open Firefox and I can’t even do that.
Thanks for this information. We did not test with Catalina yet.
The final version of macOS Catalina (10.15) was released a few days ago. Here are our instructions on how to enable the XModules again(*). The above solution with turning off gatekeeper is still valid and works well. But you can also enable the XModules without disabling gatekeeper:
The procedure is the same for all 3 XModules (file access, mouse and keyboard control and desktop automation/computer vision):
In addition, for Mac desktop automation, you need to enable Chrome and/or Firefox to do screen recording. The reason is that UI Vision needs to take periodic desktop screenshots.
The first time you run UI automation you will get this prompt:
(*) Technically these changes are required because Catalina enforces now notarization. Catalina is Apple’s first Mac operating system to require app notarization . The stipulation impacts apps distributed outside of the Mac App Store, which must now be vetted by Apple before they are allowed to run on user machines.
Update: Meanwhile we sign all UI.Vision RPA binaries and submit them for notarization to Apple. So the above “cannot be recognized” warning dialogs no longer appear.
