macOS: "MLV.app is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash" #258

When I try to launch the latest release for Mac ARM the app won't start, and I get "MLV.app is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash”.

What is your computer? What is your OS?

Signynt commented 2 years ago

Mac mini M1 (2020) 8 GB macOS Monterey 12.4

masc4ii commented 2 years ago

Have you enabled access in system preferences (safety & privacy)? macOS automatically blocks all unknown apps.

Signynt commented 2 years ago

Yes I have (Under the 'Privacy' tab), but it doesn't even show up in the 'General' tab of 'Security & Privacy' like the Intel app does, asking you if you want to allow it, since the app won't even start.

masc4ii commented 2 years ago

Rightclick on app, "Open". Then in the first tab (general, not privacy tab) in security & privacy allow to open it.

Signynt commented 2 years ago

Like I said, it doesn't show up there because the issue is not that the app does not have permission, it won't even start. I've tried several times already, but tried it again following your instructions exactly, with the same result.

masc4ii commented 2 years ago

The app won't start without macOS permisson! Here it works fine.

masc4ii commented 2 years ago

Checked download again. Works on M1 without any problem.

Here's a screen recording of me trying to open it, just so it's clear what is going on:

I have restarted my mac.

masc4ii commented 2 years ago

On your Mac the important security setting "Allow apps from anywhere" is missing, so your Mac blocks this app and puts it into quarantine. Delete this entry by writing this into the terminal:

sudo xattr -d /Applications/MLV\ App.app

App should start after that.

AllowApps

Signynt commented 2 years ago

Weird, I've never had this issue before on this mac. Enabling this option let me allow the app to be opened.

I used the command sudo spctl --master-disable

Thanks for your help @masc4ii !
