    Greetings all!

    I'm using a 2020 Intel MacBook Pro running Ventura.

    When I click on the installation apps I get this error message: The application “OVERSHOT Installer.app” can’t be opened.

    Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

    Much TIA,
    Slim

    The error message "The application 'OVERSHOT Installer.app' can’t be opened" on your Intel MacBook Pro running Ventura typically occurs due to one of the following reasons:

    1. Incompatible Architecture
    The installer may be built exclusively for Apple Silicon (M1/M2) chips, not Intel processors. This is a common issue with newer apps, as seen in the GitHub discussion where GPT4All-Chat's installer failed on Intel Macs despite running Ventura.

    2. Insufficient Permissions
    The executable file inside the app bundle may lack proper permissions. To fix this:

    • Right-click the app → "Show Package Contents"

    • Navigate to Contents/MacOS/ and locate the executable file.

    • In Terminal, run:


      bash
      chmod +x "/path/to/Contents/MacOS/executable_file"
      This grants execute permissions, as demonstrated in the YouTube tutorial.
    3. Corrupted or Incomplete Download
    Redownload the installer and verify its integrity. macOS may block apps from unidentified developers, which can be overridden by right-clicking the app and selecting "Open" instead of double-clicking.

    4. File System Issues
    If the installer was moved from another location, macOS might quarantine it. Run this in Terminal:


    bash
    xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/Installer.app
    For Ventura-specific installation issues, ensure your disk is formatted as APFS (not Mac OS Extended) and has at least 25GB free space. If the app is confirmed Intel-compatible, try reinstalling macOS Ventura via Recovery Mode after backing up data.

    Thanks for your reply.

    I tried options 2 and 3, but no luck.

    I have legit plugins from the developer, and they all have macOS universal binary installers, so I would be surprised if the expansions would be for ARM only. Maybe something got changed with ARCADiA's tinkering with it?

    I opened Overshot expansion .app on intel and had no problem running it. These installers are not ARM only.

    You are opening an app inside a mounted disk image. Right click the .app file and open it.

    Or disable Gatekeeper entirely. In Terminal issue this command: sudo spctl --master-disable

    It will ask for your password to run the command as root. Then run the Overshot installer app.

    If still not working,

    After that, you can Allow Apps from Anywhere.
    Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security, Scroll to "Allow apps downloaded from" select You should now see "Anywhere" as an option.

    You might want to use Keka to extract the archived .zip files in the first place: https://www.keka.io/en/

    You should have BatChmod, but you shouldn't need it for this. https://batchmod.en.softonic.com/mac

    You can also use Permissions Reset 2 to fix file permissions issues: https://ohanaware.com/permissionsreset/

    Get Sentinel. https://github.com/alienator88/Sentinel
    It is a GUI app for Codesigning on newer MacOS versions.

    Aha! This was a big piece of the puzzle! Thank you!

    The other thing I had to do was copy the install apps to my hard drive, unzip the windows files, and copy the .dat files to the same folders as the install apps. Then the installations worked perfectly! I have no idea why the .dat files weren't with the macOS installers. Weird.

    In any case, everything seems to be working just fine now. Thanks!
