Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue
  • I will be providing steps how to reproduce the bug (in most cases this will also mean uploading a demo budget file)

What happened?

I downloaded the Mac desktop client here: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/releases/latest/download/Actual-mac.dmg
I moved the application to the Applications folder.
I double-clicked the application to launch.
A MacOS error message displayed:

This software needs to be updated.
Contact the developer for more information.

related: https://github.com/contour-terminal/contour/issues/1421

@jesstokes the workaround is;

I had the same issue when installing using brew just now on the latest release (Sonoma 14.4.1). If you just open the binary after install you'll get a popup with no option to "Open" and no instructions for how to open. You have to right-click on the binary file (in /Applications) and select open there, and then a different popup says something similar except there's also an Open button :)
