Stopped working after macOS Catalina Upgrade
MacOs will no longer even allow an install of the app. On running Fusion360 the app throws an exception that says it can no longer run for the same reason.

Fair enough.
It seems to work when you Cmd-Click the pkg and select Open, bypassing the macOS developer check.

macOS 10.15 Catalina quarantines the library. You can whitelist it:
- Open a Terminal
- You're probably in your home dir, otherwise use the
cd
command - Use the following command to get the com.apple.quarantine attribute:
xattr -p com.apple.quarantine Library/Application\ Support/Autodesk/Autodesk\ Fusion\ 360/API/Scripts/NativeTrackpad/NativeTrackpad.dylib
- Copy the string you get. It should be something like "0081;5b767f91;Safari;FF7FD04A-71DA-4993-8EFA-4F8202EBA1C1" Replace the first 4 characters by 00c1 and use YOUR modified string on the following command.
xattr -w com.apple.quarantine "00c1;5b767f91;Safari;FF7FD04A-71DA-4993-8EFA-4F8202EBA1C1" Library/Application\ Support/Autodesk/Autodesk\ Fusion\ 360/API/Scripts/NativeTrackpad/NativeTrackpad.dylib
- Launch Fusion 360
all those didn't work for 1.15.3 beta but it worked for me doing this
sudo installer -pkg /Users/[your users name]/Downloads/NativeTrackpad.pkg -target /
note: i have homebrew installed, not sure it that allowed me to do it
heres a guide of how to install this HomeBrew

Why, if the fix is a signing issue?
Edit: Nevermind I see your thoughts on the issue in the other repository.
Seems to work just fine in Catalina. Just ctrl-click and select "Open" from the pop-up. I think that all that's needed is to take the existing code and sign it in order to avoid this issue. But this work-around is trivial. Thanks for this plugin!!
Can confirm Right click > Open
works to run the installer (when Fusion is closed). Installs and then works without issue upon starting Fusion. (macOS Catalina 10.15.2)
Many thanks for a fantastic plugin.
Perhaps updating the plugin page on Autodesk to say it can work on Catalina (although no direct support provided) since some may be discouraged and not realise that it does work!
There is a VERY simple solution to this issue: Go to the Settings App -> Security and Privacy There should be a notification there of the download that was blocked. From there, you can click the button "open anyway"
should be fixed now https://github.com/mertrois/Native-Trackpad/releases
