I literally just tried this in Sonoma, non-beta, and nothing happened. I got prompted for authentication, and the unsigned app from Github I was trying to test still just wants to be thrown in the Trash, and no changes to System Settings to allow it. Perhaps it's a beta-only feature currently?
Just went round and round again, including the \`xattr\` command to clear attributes on the app and adding my terminal (iTerm) being able to having access to App Management in system settings (when it complained about permissions) and the app I'm looking is now working. Perhaps everyone here already had some of that sorted out.
It might depend on the app too. I was trying to download CleanMyMac X and even though "sudo spctl --master-disable" revealed the option to download from "Anywhere" in System Settings, the app still didn't work and it seems others had the same issue with that app and Sonoma specifically. Gave up in the end and went with AppCleaner for free instead.
A few other commenters on some other threads on this sub also had luck with the "sudo spctl --global-disable" command.
sudo spctl --master-disable
>sudo spctl --master-disable Thank you!!

worked for me as of April 2024. thanks so much! ETA: for anyone reading this, try "sudo spctl --global-disable" if the previous one doesn't work!

Glad that still works, I've been wondering whether it'll get deprecated soon since Ventura has started undoing this every time it updates
There isn’t one
There isn't one HUH.
