Hi again, try moving the application outside of the downloaded folder and onto the desktop! (Found a reddit post with a similar issue)

(1 edit)

hey again, apparently it's because macOS will run it in a read-only mode. I had to modify """extended attributes""". But now it's fixed :-)

the .app has the com.apple.quarantine flag from Chrome's download. The error is triggered by macOS's Gatekeeper Path Randomization (App Translocation) — when you run a quarantined .app directly from where it was downloaded/unzipped, macOS runs it from a randomized read-only path under /private/var/folders/..., which would prevent the game from saving.

The cleanest fix is to strip the quarantine attribute. 

xattr -l /Users/omshinwa/Desktop/DooDaaMAC/Game.app 2>&1; echo "---"; xattr -l /Users/omshinwa/Desktop/DooDaaMAC 2>&1

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Users/omshinwa/Desktop/DooDaaMAC/Game.app && echo "OK — quarantine removed"; xattr -l /Users/omshinwa/Desktop/DooDaaMAC/Game.app
