PlayOnMac is damaged and can’t be opened

Hi,

Just downloaded POM, version 4.4.3. When I launch the app I get the message: "PlayOnMac is damaged and can’t be opened".

A search on this forum turned up a post from 2021 with the same problem. Ostensibly, installing a new version fixed the problem back then. (I've already done a reinstall of the same version, without effect.)

 

OSX version: 13.0 (22A380)
PlayOnMac version: 4.4.3

Any way to fix this please?

Thanks

Try this open terminal type:

 

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/PlayOnMac.app
