## Damaged Error on macOS
<p align="center">

</p>
If you encounter a similar "damaged" error when trying to open the app on macOS, you can resolve this by running the following command in the terminal:
```shell
xattr -c ~/Applications/iDescriptor.app
```
You need to run this because macOS blocks apps that are not signed by an Apple Developer ID. By clearing the extended attributes, you can bypass this security feature.
This not something specific to iDescriptor, for example [check this out](https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow/issues/7606).
You can be more explicit and only remove the quarantine attribute like so:
```shell
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/iDescriptor.app
```
