Topic: Issue: Install on: macOS M2 "Damaged and Can't Be Opened"

Hello QElectroTech team,

I recently downloaded and attempted to run QElectroTech v0.100.0 (r8427) for macOS Apple Silicon (arm64, signed and notarized) from the official site. However, when I try to open the app, I receive the following error:

"qelectrotech" is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin.

System Details:
Mac Model: MacBook [M2]
macOS Version: [macOS 14.4 Sonoma]
Downloaded File: qelectrotech-0.100.0-r8427-arm64.zip
Troubleshooting Steps Tried:


Thank you for your support!

Re: Issue: Install on: macOS M2 "Damaged and Can't Be Opened"

cite from Bugtracker:

Workaround:
- Download however you prefer, FireFox, Safari, etc
- Expand the arm64 zip with terminal: unzip qelectrotech-xxxxxxx-arm64.zip
- Launch .app as usual, and be presented with confirmation to open a functioning application with proper validation

I noticed that downloading the ARM64 archive and expanding with the double-click Archive Utility, the resultant application reports as corrupt. I'm not sure why exactly. Clearly there are differences between the terminal application and the GUI Archive Utility - I'm sure there are reasons.
