Is it possible that the malware version of Xcode had its signature removed?

I wasn't aware of this shortcut until now. I've been going the long route through Settings. Thanks for the tip!

Right-click and open doesn't always work.

It will fail if the signature is invalid.

Don't open it if the signature is invalid.
