description:

what happened? I tried to open the application after installing. And I keep getting the following error message:

what's expected? I expected the application to open normally

The last version to function properly was v1.9.0

log:

No logs created...

[vran-dev]

first:

sudo spctl --master-disable

second: open System Preferences->Security & Privacy select anywhere

final: reinstall prettyZoo

[artheus]

$ spctl --status
assessments disabled

@vran-dev This was already configured on my device. So that is not working..

[artheus]

Also this:

$ spctl --assess -v ~/Downloads/prettyZoo.app
/Users/artheus/Downloads/prettyZoo.app: accepted
override=security disabled

spctl considers it accepted

[vran-dev]

try to run it and then open the application

xattr -rc /Applications/prettyZoo.app

[artheus]

try to run it and then open the application

xattr -rc /Applications/prettyZoo.app

This worked! Maybe this can be added as a step for the macOS build of the software?

Move the install path from /Applications to ~/Applications, then, simply call xattr is enough.

xattr -rc ~/Applications/prettyZoo.app

No need to change System Policy to launch the app.
