I just downloaded for Mac OS and it says that the file is broken and can't be opened. I am on Sonoma.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

No problem! You can fix this by running

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/KexEdit.app

replacing /path/to/KexEdit.app with your local path, then run the app.

This will be fixed when I pay $100 to apple so I can security sign the app myself

I tried running this prompt in terminal and was told "No such file"

If I have it in my applications folder would this be correct?

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /MacintoshHD/Applications/KexEdit.app

Is this correct?

I'm now being told "Not enough arguments for option -d. Expected at least 2 but got 1"

I think the path you entered may be incorrect. It might be something like “/Applications/KexEdit.app”.

I believe you should be able to write xattr -d com.apple.quarantine and then drag and drop the file from the finder into the terminal to automatically write the correct path

Thanks! I should have come back to post that I got it working with the help of ChatGPT. I probably butchered the copying and pasting somewhere along the lines and I'm no good with Terminal.
