MacOS app file is broken

[Peter Dolenc]

Issue type: Bug report

Actual behaviour

After downloading MacOS .app file for release 0.9 I copy it to Applications and try to run it. I get a message "The application UltraStarPlay-v0.9.0-macOS.app can't be opened.".
The binary in the package is missing the executable flag. However even after doing that:

cd /Applications/UltraStarPlay-v0.9.0-macOS.app/Contents/MacOS                
% ls -l
-rw-r--r--@ 1 user  staff  33597 Feb 12 18:49 UltraStar Play
% chmod +x *

The app still won't start, it says now:
“UltraStarPlay-v0.9.0-macOS.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin."

Expected behaviour

Application would open.

Steps to reproduce

1. Download app file from github
2. Move to /Applications
3. Double click on it

Details

Provide some additional information:

• UltraStar Play version: 0.9
• Operating System + version: Mac OS 13.2.1

Thanks for the bug report.
The installation instructions also suggest to exclude the app from quarantine. Did you do this?

Besides this, there are some known issues in the current version on macOS.

Hello, thanks for fast response - that was actually it. I did not look for installation ionstructions as I assumed it should be like with any other .app on MacOS ;)
