Running this command in the terminal should fix it:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Altus.app

That did not work. Here is the attached screenshot with the Terminal error message: "no such xattr"

However after digging around I tried the following command:

sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Altus.app

And this time it worked! Screenshot 2023-10-31 174453

Thanks for your help pointing me in the right direction!

Altus is a killer app
