Do you have Ice in your "Applications" folder?

AeliaJBL commented 3 weeks ago

Ah. I see the problem. The app somehow installed into my Downloads folder. Thanks!

Hi! I see this ticket was closed just now but it makes sense to post here as I'm basically getting the same thing but I have verified and even redownloaded Ice and moved it to /Applications again to verify. So I'm getting this and it is in /Applications. My only thought is perhaps that the permissions for Ice.app are my user's permissions and not root:wheel as most apps that are installed via automated scripts

@dankilman Did you move Ice to /Applications using Finder? macOS imposes a quarantine on the app bundle if you don't do this. You can clear it by either redownloading and using Finder to move the app, or by running xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Ice.app in Terminal.

Perfect! Moving via Finder did the trick. Many thanks 🙏
