Use the fix but change the name of the file? Here's the version pinned to the Strive: Conquest Discord channel, but updated for Strive for Power. Note the mentioned drag to terminal feature, which should be an easy fix to your problem.


When opening the new Mac version (0.5.5), an error reporting that the file is damaged and can't be opened occurs. This is a different error from the classic error of Mac preventing the opening of an app downloaded from outside the app store. The fix is to open terminal type:

xattr -cr "/file/pathway/Strive For Power.app"

Easiest way to do this is to just open terminal, type (without the quotes) "xattr -cr ", then drag the Strive For Power application file from finder into terminal and it will create the file pathway for you. This should work without any more steps needed as it is kind of an all access pass for the file. WARNING: Whoever uses this method needs to make sure they only use it with trusted files (including mods downloaded later that will inherit the parent application's access) as it is essentially giving potentially embedded viruses the keys to the castle.
