It seems that there's an issue with exporting a MacOS app from a non-MacOS platform. I don't have access to a Mac right now, so I'll need to find a workaround for it.

Oh interesting! Additional info: I tried downloading the windows version and running it through wine and it seems to work perfectly, so that's something

Also my friend showed me how to remove the xattributes from the .app package and that allows the mac version to run. They say that problem is something about quarantine tags or package signing or something. Just in case that's helpful!

I wasn't able to code-sign the app because I wasn't exporting from a Mac. I borrowed one, copied the project over and exported from there and it seems like it signed properly, so hopefully it works now?

Hmm, I was able to get the .app to run, but it seems like there's something else wrong with that version because none of the buttons in the game do anything. They animate when I click them but nothing happens. The other version that I removed the xattributes from myself works perfectly.

Alright, trying one more thing. Let me know if it works now (if so, great, if not, I might need to borrow that Mac again and figure out what went wrong)

Alas! This version returns the damaged dialogue again; once again after I removed the xattributes myself it ran perfectly. My friend agrees you'll need to code sign it again if you've changed anything.

Damn. I hoped re-exporting the original that worked and adding the missing _CodeSignature folder from the Mac export would be a workaround, but if it needs a new signature each time then that's not an option. And I don't have access to the borrowed Mac so it could be a while before I can find a proper fix.

I think I finally figured out what happened here. I've been using Godot v3.4, but when I tried the Mac export I downloaded the latest version (v3.5, which was released a couple weeks ago). There was a slight change to how it handles inputs that caused a problem with the UI buttons. One extra line of code, and it's fixed.

As it turns out, v3.5 also fixed the issue that was preventing me from code-signing, so I should be able to push updates and troubleshoot issues for the Mac version from my own device now.
