1.71 on Mac ... doesn't work

After downloading, and unzipping, get a dialog box: “SophiesDice” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

This is version 1.71 on Macbook Pro 16 (M3 Max chip) running the latest MacOS 26.3.1.

Sorry for the delayed response, and also sorry for my answer - the app probably isn't going to run on a modern mac at all.  There was a thing you could in the terminal to make it work, but I don't know if it is still viable.

The truth is I can't make builds using my older macbook that can be notarized and code-signed. Unless I get a bunch of money for a new mac, or apple stop being so hostile to solo-devs that aren't mac-focused there's not much I can do. My next game won't even have a mac version on itch because of this...

Anyway I'll make the notice about macOS issues on the store page more bold and noticeable.
