Can't Open on M2 Macbook

[3Samourai]

Description

• [x] Can you reproduce the issue?

Steps to reproduce

1. brew install --cask mark-text

Expected behavior:

Install the app

Actual behavior:

Got a error

The Apple Silicon (ARM) version of mark-text is not signed. It will display an error stating it is damaged and can't
be opened. Please see https://github.com/marktext/marktext/issues/2983 for details and workarounds.

This is something only the developer, not Homebrew, can fix.

Versions

• MarkText version: v0.17.1
• Operating system: Mac OS 14.1.2

I confirm the issue.

The .dmg download works fine for Ventura 13.2.1, M2 Max (unless you're just pointing out the that the brew formula is broken).

I am also not able to open it for Mac OS 14.1.2 m2 pro.

I see the same installation error when installing Mark-text using the brew install command on Mac OS 14.2.1 and running Homebrew v4.2.9 on an M3 Max MacBook Pro.

Following the discussion in the error, I found some discussion about running the following to remove the quarantine for the application.

xattr -cr /Applications/MarkText.app

This allows me to open the app successfully after installation. ✅

Every app can be opened this way or in settings. Check the Apple Documentation. However, it's not optimal and definitely not a fix.

Seems this issue is not fixed until today for M2 Mac with macOS 14.3.1. Lukily, I can open the app by this method.
