nRF connect for desktop 3.3.1 for MacOS not running (damaged/invalid signature)

Hi all,

I seem to be having a problem with running nRF connect for desktop 3.3.1 on MacOS (10.15.3). After installing the package to the application folder, on launching it gives the error message: 

“nRF Connect” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin.

 

I've already re-downloaded the file multiple times, but it did not seem to help. Is this a problem on my side or for everyone?

some extra debug info:

pkgutil --check-signature "nRF Connect.app"

Package "nRF Connect":

   Status: package is invalid (checksum did not verify)

compare with 3.3.0:

pkgutil --check-signature "nRF Connect.app"

Package "nRF Connect":

   Status: signed by a certificate trusted by macOS
