Not sure if it's just me but it says I cannot open the application and it does not show up in my Mac's privacy settings. Usually I can find the app in my settings and allow it to open anyway but now there's no such option. I'm on M2 Pro Ventura 13.5.2 if it helps.
Viewing post in Howling Irons - DEMO comments
Hi papayaah!
Thanks for your comment. This is indeed an issue Mac users face when they download games outside of the itch.io client; as a direct download.
It started happening after a recent upgrade, that these kinds of apps downloaded from the internet stopped appearing in MacOS Security Settings. The fix is very simple:
(This example is going to assume you have placed your HowlingIrons_MacOS_Demo.app in your Desktop. Simply replace the Desktop for the location of your app)
- Open the Terminal app.
- Type: cd Desktop
- Hit Enter.
- Afterwards, type: chmod +x HowlingIrons_MacOS_Demo.app/contents/MacOS/‘Howling Irons’
- Hit Enter.
- Go to the location of your app, right lick it and select Open.
- A pop up will appear, click on Open.
- That's it! Enjoy your game!
This fix will help other Mac users. I will create a formal post.
Bye!
