Hi guys, im new in facepager... when i try to open any version of Facepager i get this message:

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

Any help?, thanks

temporarily solved using: xattr -cr /Applications/Facepager.app and relunch Facepger

Interesting, what's the purpose of xattr -cr (I'm not a Mac user, therefore building Facepager for Mac challenges me every time).

I'm not really sure, I'm not dev. But with other unsigned apps, I solved it with the xattr command that cleaning associated pairs of files and directories. There is more information here: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/xattr.7.html

I guess this comes from the security mechanisms of mac. Since we don't sign the app (had no time yet), you explicitly have to allow unsigned apps. I'll put signing the app onto my bucket list.
