I keep getting an error "You do not have permission to open the application "FaultyApprentice_VMac"".  Am I doing something wrong?  Is there a way to get this to work on Mac?

Since we are not a liscenced publisher for Mac, you will need to manually open the game via the Security & Privacy menu in System Preferences. Click "Open Anyways". You may have to click open anyways mulitple times (Mac REALLY doesn't like indie publishers XD)

If you need any more help feel free to contact me directly on Discord.

Good luck and Merry Christmas!

I don't see an option for manually opening files in Security & Privacy.  Would it matter that I'm running Big Sur?  I haven't run into a 64-bit-vs-32-bit error, but maybe I just haven't gotten that far.

Hmm, as long as the app icon isn't faded out with a Ø symbol on it, there should be a way to open it. Maybe opening process is different for Big Sir.. I am still on mojave otherwise I could help you. Sorry you are having issues! Hopefully you can find a way to open the app. I really want you to start your apprenticship!! -Din

A brief google search turned up this, which suggests that it's not actually a permissions issue - Big Sur just isn't letting any unsigned apps work.  I'll see if any of those solutions work.

If you manage to find a solution, please let me know so I can make a READ ME instruction file for mac users. Again very sorry you have having to deal with this issue )=

Terminal, "sudo bash" command, enter, password, enter,  sudo chmod -R 755, space, drag and drop the app, enter  🤟🏻 done.
