No sweat! I'm really mystified, as I usually know how to get around the security feature. In this case, I just get a Finder modal dialog that says, "The application 'The SignalMac' can't be opened." with no recourse, incl. in the security settings. Bizarre.
fwiw, this is a last generation Intel processor, not an M1/M2 chip. Perhaps some odd compatibility thing?
The permissions on the executable were not set correctly when uploaded to itch. You can fix this by opening Terminal, go to the MacOS directory within the app, and giving it the execution permission. For example:
To the author: I use butler to upload to itch. The “–fix-permissions” option works for me. For instance: “butler push –fix-permissions TheSignalMac.app oddball/the-signal:macos”
