macOS ARM binaries are corrupted and won't open

[muskit]

The latest ARM release for macOS (3.2.6; January 28, 2024) won't open due to it being "damaged" according to the OS.

To Reproduce

1. Download any of the ARM packages for macOS (3.2.6).
2. Extract the .app.
3. Attempt to run the app.

Expected behavior
The app opens.

Result

Tested on a MacBook Air (M1, 2020) running macOS Ventura 13.4. Tried both the .zip and .dmg arm64 releases.

The x86_64 binary running via Rosetta 2 works perfectly fine, though the titlebar was hidden until I went to ArmCord settings and set the theme to "Native."

sudo spctl --master-disable

If it won't open, try this instead:
xattr -cr /path/to/application.app

[muskit]

sudo spctl --master-disable

If it won't open, try this instead: xattr -cr /path/to/application.app

This worked! Looks like it could be solved by signing at build time, but that probably costs money...

"If macOS detects that software has been modified or damaged, your Mac notifies you that the app can't be opened" said by Apple Support :kekw:

just fyi, the app is not corrupted, modified or damaged in any way. this is just apple deciding that they don't like the app and randomly flagging it, then making it seem like it's the developer's fault

the only way to solve it is to sign, which costs 100$ a year
xattr -cr /path/to/application.app should work though

So looks like Apple just made it way more security-paranoid with unsigned apps on ARM to the point of refusing to open...

thaaaanks....
