Get a " The application “Install Cursor” can’t be opened." message using Sonoma 14.4.1 on MacBook Air M2 2022 after downloading the installer and trying to run it.
Tried the old “sudo spctl --master-disable” trick for developers not known by Apple but that didn’t help.
Am I missing something really simple? Installed fine on my Win11 machine…
Hey, to fix the issue with opening the app on macOS, try these steps:
Go to "System Preferences" > "Security & Privacy".
Ensure that apps downloaded from “App Store and identified developers” are allowed.
Run this terminal command to remove the quarantine from the app:
xattr -d -r com.apple.quarantine /path/to/file
These steps might help bypass security restrictions and allow the app to open successfully.
Appreciate the response, unfortunately this didn’t resolve the hang up. Thank you.
The solution for me was to manually delete “Cursor“ from the Applications folder, and try reinstalling again.
