Unable to use rblxRP on MacOS

Opening rblxRP.app displays this modal.
I have attempted to investigate logs to figure out the cause but I was unsuccessful.
There's a bug in macOS where donloading app files will sometimes cause that error.
The fix is to first move the application to your Applications folder, and then run this command in the Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
xattr -cr /Applications/rblxRP.app
this fixed the issue, thanks! i've never needed to use a command like this for any other application though. is pkg making a bad .app somehow?
afaik it's because macOS applies a 'quarantine' bit to files downloaded through Safari (and contents of downloaded zip files), and will refuse to open applications with the quarantine bit set. Contents of DMG files do not have the same flag.
xattr -cr removes all extended attributes from a file, including the quarantine bit, so it can be opened.
That's kinda annoying, is there a way pkg can be configured to output a .dmg instead?
