If you're on an Intel Mac, there's an x64 .dmg that will work. The arm64 is for Apple Silicon.

Thanks but i am on Apple Silicon, and running the arm64 package.

@borez Let me check the uploaded package... Yeah, for some reason it is broken, let me upload again.

[eoyilmaz]

So, I regenerated the app and dmg image, before uploading it I run both the app and the extracted app from dmg, and they both worked. But after uploading it to GitHub and downloading back again, it stopped working.

As I understand there is an issue with the signature, so the running the following disables the gate keeper for removes the com.apple.quarantine attribute from DisplayCAL.app.

Not an ideal solution, but will let you run it until I found a solution.

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/DisplayCAL.app

[eoyilmaz]

As I see the com.apple.quarantine attribute is added to all downloaded files, so that the user is asked to give permission when they first run the application, preventing malwares to run wihtout the users permission, and then after the first run it is removed.

But, I believe, in our case, the attribute persists... Still looking for a solution...

you might try dummy signing:
codesign --sign - --verbose --deep --force --preserve-metadata=entitlements,requirements,flags,runtime -i "org.displaycal" <dmg>

@MStraeten thanks for the suggestion, I ran the codesign command with a slight modification (net.displaycal instead of org.displaycal):

codesign --sign - --verbose --deep --force --preserve-metadata=entitlements,requirements,flags,runtime -i "net.displaycal" DisplayCAL-3.9.14-macOS_arm64.dmg

I uploaded it, downloaded again, and it is still displaying the same error, and it still requires the com.apple.quarantine attr to be deleted.
