Problem running a game exported to MacOS

How do I...?
1

Hi,

I’m using a mac to develop a game and GDevelop itself works great. However when I export the game for macOS and try to run it, a message prompts saying the application can’t be opened.

I already tried using the unarchiver app to open the zip which solved the problem before but not now.

I’m having this problem since I updated MacOS to the latest version (26).

Is there any advice to solve this problem?

Thanks

Hey! I’ve also got this problem. Is it because “Mac cannot check for malicious software”? If so, you should be able to open the terminal app and type
xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine “/Applications/Duck Game.app”
(Except swap Duck Game for whatever your game name is, assuming your game is in the applications folder)
Then, you should be prompted with a little key icon. Just type in your computer password, then paste that code again, and the app should run!

Edit: In case you were wondering, this code pretty much forces the app to bypass that error message.
