Hello,
I am having trouble opening Emacs version 27.1-1, getting the error message
"Emacs can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious
software. This software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for more
information." I am on MacOS Catalina version 10.15.5. I downloaded from
https://emacsformacosx.com/.
Any insight is appreciated. Thank you!

Have you tried control-clicking on Emacs.app and click Open?

If you are on the latest macOS, you may have trouble opening files in ~/Documents, ~/Desktop, and a few other places.
https://github.com/caldwell/build-emacs/issues/84 <https://github.com/caldwell/build-emacs/issues/84> describes the symptoms and a few work arounds. I’m not sure what the current state of the recent builds are.
