When trying to install, I receive the following:
“Visual Studio Code” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.
This software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for more information.

Visual Studio Code can't be opened because "Apple cannot check it for malicious software"

This will be fixed in v1.43, see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/vnext/release-notes/v1_43.md#notarized-macos-builds
Visual Studio Code for macOS is finally notarized, so you should no longer see the following dialog:
