The application "CorruptVideoInspector.app" can't be opened. #21

I followed the instructions in the Readme.md for macOS (ie. using DownGit and pasting https://github.com/nhershy/CorruptVideoFileInspector/tree/main/builds/macOS/v5, then extracting the folder), but when I start the app I get this error message

The application “CorruptVideoInspector.app” can’t be opened.

Is there anything that I'm missing?

I got the same error message following the instructions

Same here.

"CorruptVideolnspector.app" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

Same issue. Looked it up. Taken from Quora https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-fix-damaged-app-error-in-Mac:

  1. Open a Terminal with appropriate privileges (sudo bash to make you root on most systems)

  2. Enter the following, substituting “AppName” with the real name of the app: xattr -cr /Applications/AppName.app

In this case: xattr -cr /Applications/CorruptVideoInspector.app (Make sure app is in Applications folder)

  1. Press Enter to run the command. This should remove the flag currently set on the app.

That post included a link to a YT video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIsYMgagJz4

Ran into a different error, stating xattr -cr was not a thing. Changed it to xattr -c (so xattr -c /Applications/CorruptVideoInspector.app in Step 2) and it worked for me.
App is up and running properly now. More info: https://ss64.com/mac/xattr.html

Disclaimer: I've got no idea what's going on. Hope it helps.

Edited for clarity.
