Volt on M1 only tells me to move it to /Applications, despite being there #169

No matter what directory I launch Volt from, I get this dialog:

I get that whether using the Finder, Marta, or Alfred to launch it.

Perhaps because I once tried launching it from ~/Downloads, it thinks it's still there?

@brandondrew It isn't specific to M1, I get it on x86-64. I fixed it by removing the extended attribute named com.apple.quarantine from Volt.app.

You can check if it is present at a terminal by running xattr /Applications/Volt.app, if it is present then xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Volt.app will delete it the extended attribute.

Of course I'm commenting on a few month old issue, so no idea if you got it working or not. :)

@chadcatlett Thanks, that's really helpful.

Not only did I not get it working yet, but it got worse. If I launch Volt.app it perpetually crashes ad respawns, and does so too fast for me to do anything else on the computer. It basically launches a denial of service attack. I guess I should post a new issue with regard to that so the owner can have an opportunity to fix it...
