App won't open on M1 Mac

[jncmney]

I've used CBConvert on my Intel Mac for years. I tried using it on my M1 Mac mini and the app doesn't open. I get this error message:

Downloaded cbconvert-1.1.0-darwin-aarch64.zip

Computer:

• Mac mini M1, 2020
• macOS Sequoia 15.3.2
• 16 GB Memory

1.0.0 is working fine, error started in 1.1.0

Without the error, I am unable to do anything. I can not test on aarch64, only in an x86_64 VM. Can you cd to cbconvert.app directory from the terminal and start the binary from there? Then it should report something.

I tried the x64 version, same error. The aarch64 CLI binary works fine.

When trying to open the app from the console I get a permission error:

 ~/Downloads/cbconvert-1.1.0 2/CBconvert.app/Contents/MacOS  ./cbconvert-gui
zsh: permission denied: ./cbconvert-gui

I might simply be that?

I don't know why it's like that, but it could be that simple. I am sure I tested the app in a macOS X86_64 VM before the release.

Unless it is related to binary signing that is required, I am not familiar with macOS; the binary is cross-compiled using the osxcross toolchain, and it performs some action there.
