In indie mac gaming, it is very very common for people to distribute unsigned mac games. We mac gamers have an easy way around that, which is a simple bash script (see below). All that is required to make it work is that it be rebuilt to 64bit OS X target, it is not necessary to update the actual version of OS X that it is targetting nor to properly codesign the bundle.

[[fixapp.command]]

```bash

if [[ $# -gt 0 ]]

  then echo "...$1"

  echo $1

  else

  echo "correct execution format: 'sudo fixapp.command ~/Applications/App.app"

fi

if [[ "$1" ]] ; then

  echo "fixing app"

  sudo chmod -R 755 $1

  sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine $1

  echo "launching from app"

  open $1

  exit

  else

  echo "error"

fi

```
