Mac Builds are not opening on my Mac

[dansingsinthereign]

I've tried multiple builds (releases included) and for some reason I can't seem to open the file.
Would appreciate if you could look into it.

The application “Godot-2” can’t be opened. - is all it says.

I have an idea why this might be happening, but I don't have a Mac to check it out.
There is an old issue with GitHub Actions uploader not preserving executable permissions when packing things as a ZIP artifact: actions/upload-artifact#38
Since the builds are formed using GitHub Actions, those permissions might be not set, and they should be!

You can try the following steps:

1. Unpack the ZIP file with the Mac editor.
2. Set the "Godot.app/Contents/MacOS/Godot" file as executable. If you are comfortable with the terminal, you can do chmod +x Godot.app/Contents/MacOS/Godot.

Try if this build works: https:/limbonaut/limboai/actions/runs/7232557818

I tried the build and it works like a charm! Excited to dig into this. Thanks

[limbonaut]

Cool. Then I'm closing it.
If you have any questions, we got a Discord now.

Thanks for the prompt response! The only problem now is if you're using Desktop, Documents, and Downloads folders, the permission request will keep popping up. But when I avoid those locations, no problem.

Maybe it happens because the binary is not signed. Perhaps, you could add it to some exceptions list? Don't have a Mac, sorry.

[dansingsinthereign]

Yeah the weird thing is I've done the exceptions but it still keeps popping up.
The solution of saving it else where (apart from Desktop, Documents and Downloads folders) work. So at this point it's all good for me :)
