I'm on an Intel 2016 15-inch MBP and got the same error after downloading the .dmg and moving AudiobookConverter to the I deleted the application, re-opened the downloaded .dmg file, moved AudiobookConverter to the Applications directory using the ui, and then ran the two terminal commands listed within the installation instructions listed in the wiki and I was able to successfully launch the application. Kudos to @molonlabe88 for asking the question and @cerinawithasea for answering. It allowed me to keep going on what I wanted to get done. |

I have found a fix! For those still getting the 'damaged' error despite running the terminal commands in the wiki, here's how to get it to launch successfully:

This aligns with what I've found when recently installing some macOS apps from....other sources. They include a script titled "Open Gatekeeper friendly" that executes these commands for you and allows you to drag the app into your application folder, bypassing Gatekeeper. It seems macOS likes to pretend that the install file is 'damaged' when in reality it's blocking the install.

It looks like the command used by the group in question is Launching the app via terminal following the instructions in the wiki (after running the xattr commands), shows Java exceptions exactly when trying to add a file/folder. I wonder if this issue is related to having an apple silicon chip (Mx)? EDIT: I see the issue with the menu items not doing anything has already been reported previously: #522 |

Sorry to say that none of these fixes worked for me. Tried them twice. Later, when I have time I'll give it another go. But this is sad. |

Try holding ctrl then open from the context menu, the box gives an option to open anyway. |

For me xattr method didn't work. Instead, after installation, I tried to open the file. Instead of moving to the bin, I closed it. Then, I went to my Mac's settings. There, I went to Privacy & security tab. There, I enabled "open anyway". It worked! |

Have a fix! Just used Control + Click on the App, then "Open". And that's all |
