      Once copied into the Applications folder Picard does not start and the OS identifies it as a corrupted package offering to move it to the trash.

      Picard starts normally if launched from the DMG where it is distributed.

          Hi Philipp,

          it is still not working.

          What resolves it, is xattr -cr /Applications/MusicBrainz\ Picard.app  from terminal.

          Hope this helps

          Thanks

          Here is a build of the latest master branch. From the build configuration this is what we likely will use for the 2.6 release, so I would appreciate if someone could check whether this fixes the issues with the app being reported as damaged:

          I need your help here as I cannot reproduce this issue on my installs.

          This issue seems to be caused by Gatekeeper and wrongly set com.apple.quarantine attributes on the app. Why this wrong attribute is set is currently unknown, but the solution is to clear this flag using the xattr tool. See the following FAQ entry for details:

          https://picard-docs.musicbrainz.org/en/faq/faq_usage_macos_startup_error.html

          Otherwise this is out of our control. So far only users on macOS 10.12 and 10.13 seem to be occasionaly affected by this.

          Could you try the build from

          https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/artifacts.picard.uploadedlobster.com/MusicBrainz-Picard-2.5.0.dev1%2B45.ff46d6a9.20200925082215.dmg

          This was a fix for PICARD-1858 which downgrades PyQt from 5.13.2 to 5.13.1, but I could imagine that this also could solve this issue.
