Description Bastian 2023-08-26 11:23:18 UTC 
SUMMARY

The MacOS 3.6.6 release linked on the homepage is broken. After mounting the DMG and copying the app to /Applications, which works fine, trying to run it shows this error:

> “kstars.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin.

I've downloaded it twice to be sure not to have a corrupt download (in which case, however, I think even mounting the DMG wouldn't work).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Download latest kstars for Mac release https://www.indilib.org/jdownloads/kstars/kstars-3.6.6.dmg
2. Mount and copy app to /Applications
3. Try to run

OBSERVED RESULT

Error described above shown and app doesn't start.

EXPECTED RESULT

App starts.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
macOS: 13.4.1 (22F82)

I've retried this time using `curl` rather than download in Safari, and this time it worked. So it seems to be more likely a download bug in Safari?
