i managed to flash by copying inside balenaetcher app itself and selecting it from there and disabling system integrity protection (command+r while restarting -> terminal -> csrutil disable)

Different versions

Just tried the latest version and not working.

FYI Running sudo /Applications/balenaEtcher.app/Contents/MacOS/balenaEtcher appears to work.

The above fix did not work under Catalina, still see this:

Did you try to grant Full Disk Access to Balena Etcher?

I try burn ubuntu and vmware on 2 different sticks. I always get the error message: "Something went wrong. If it is a compressed image, please check that the archive is not corrupted."
Can anyone burn images in catalina?

Granting full disk access doesn't appear to make a difference.

[yabbah]

Yes tried that. No difference.

This works. Catalina will prompt for additional permission prior to flashing.

The above does not work on my system, cannot 'check it for malicious software'.

sudo /Applications/balenaEtcher.app/Contents/MacOS/balenaEtcher

Worked for me burning an ISO to a USB stick.

This worked for me though. Thanks!
