Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Aetherinox/ntfy-desktop/issues/143

Just downloaded 2.2.0 from the release page, checked the .zip sha256, extracted it, no errors, but executing it either from the CLI or Finder, I keep getting this error:

“ntfy-desktop.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin.

you can try do this.

sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/ntfy-desktop.app"
