¹ Unblocking the macOS .app release
MacOS will claim the .app is "damaged" and "should be deleted" when you try to run it right away. This is not true. To remove Apple's intentional, misinforming blocking mechanism and run the app, simply follow the steps below:
Steps to unblock the application
- Open the
Terminalapplication - Type (or paste)
xattr -crand leave a blank/space after-cr - Drag and drop the
Faircamp.appfile onto the terminal window - this will paste its path - The input should now be something like
xattr -cr /Applications/Faircamp.app- note that the/Applicationspart can be different, this just reflects where the application is located on your computer - Press Enter to confirm and unblock the .app, then close the Terminal - you can now use the application

The reason you're seeing the "this file is damaged" message is that I'm not paying 100$ a year to Apple to have my software officially "endorsed" by Apple. In order to pressure developers into paying these fees, Apple intentionally mislabels all software from developers that didn't pay for the official Apple approval stamp as "damaged", which is factually wrong.
What they could be doing instead (but intentionally choose not to), is to inform you of the (indeed real) danger that a downloaded app can be malicious, and should only be opened if you are reasonably confident it comes from a trustable source. In that sense, if there is any doubt in your mind about the trustworthyness of this software, I warmly invite you to look around further on my website to get an understanding who I am and what I do. You can also read my social media posts to get a more complete image of the person whose software you are about to trust, and to read what others have written about it (and I trust you will find it quite favorable). Thank you for taking the time to read this!
For repeatedly unblocking this (or other) .app bundles, you can (for instance) use fluffy's Dequarantine Quick Action
