WebPShop.plugin not opening on managed Mac

[dan_5957]

I am not able to open WebPShop.plugin on my MacBook which is managed by my company. The managed device settings allow downloads only from verified developers. Has anyone else had this issue? Any solutions would be apreciated. Thanks.

Are you able to override your Mac security settings by following the directions here under

If you want to open an app that hasn’t been notarized or is from an unidentified developer

No the Gatekeeper setting cannot be changed to allow unverified developers
as it is against the company policy. I am able to download and open the
photoshop app just fine so I am not sure why the WebShop.plugin isn’t
verified. Maybe it’s on Adobe’s end?

No the developers of the plugin are responsible for getting them verified.

Photoshop 2022 and newer have the ability to open/save WebP files, albeit without a few of the features of the WebPShop.plugin.
