I don't know about other MacOS versions, but on Catalina (10.15.7) the AsciidocFX Installer.app fails with with error shown in this screen capture. Screen Shot 2021-01-30 at 11 16 10 AM ~Steve Beisner beisner@alum.mit.edu

The same failure occurs when using the homebrew install method.

Hi Steve,

I’ll check why this is showed, but you can trust the package in our github release page.

Can you try this? I hope it helps

“Move the package to the Desktop and then hold Control and click the file to launch the installer. When the message appears, click Continue.”

Thanks for your quick reply. This looks like great work, so I look forward to being able to install it. Here's what I've tried: From "https://github.com/asciidocfx/AsciidocFX/releases", I clicked and downloadeded, "AsciidocFX_Mac.dmg". Mounted "AsciidocFX_Mac.dmg", dragged "AsciidocFX Installer.app" to Desktop. I held down the CTRL key and double clicked the installer: "AsciidocFX Installer.app". Boom... the error message dialog ("can't be opened") appears.
I went back and re-downloaded, but same thing always occurs.

I suspect this is a MacOS Catalina problem: Apple is getting really fussy about installing new apps, but I've always been able to get it done... until now, with Asciidocfx.

Please check if that fix your issue.

I’m closing the issue, let me know if I can help further

Hi. This is still an issue with 1.7.4.

The problem seems to be that the app is not notarized or from a known developer. See "If you want to open an app that hasn’t been notarized or is from an unidentified developer" at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202491

You can bypass the restriction by going to Security and privacy and allow the installer to run, as described in the linked page above.
