[BUG] App does not open in macOS Monterey 12.0.1 on M1 Max

[drf-jpg]

Describe the bug

See Screenshots. I get an error pop-up saying "The application NineAnimator cannot be opened" with no further information.

This occurs after the application has been manually allowed through Security & Preferences.

To Reproduce
Replace this with the steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Extract application using default archive utility in macOS
2. Drag NineAnimator.app to Applications
3. Run application
4. Approve in security
5. Run application a second time
6. See error

Expected behavior
The application launches.

Additional context
Looking at the crash log, it looks like macOS Monterey is refusing to launch it because of a security policy issue. This is despite allowing the application through security settings.

Do you have Rosetta 2 installed?
Tray to lunch the app with terminal: /Applications/NineAnimator.app/Contents/MacOS/NineAnimator

Yes, I have Rosetta 2 installed.

If I use terminal to launch the application, I get the following error.

➜  ~ /Applications/NineAnimator.app/Contents/MacOS/NineAnimator
[1]    19529 killed     /Applications/NineAnimator.app/Contents/MacOS/NineAnimator

In Console, the follow error is raised when searching on "Nine":

default	12:48:22.302371-0700	kernel	ASP: Security policy would not allow process: 19600, /Applications/NineAnimator.app/Contents/MacOS/NineAnimator

Try to select "open with rosetta" on the preference of NineAnimator.app

[Catta1997]

Also, you are using the Nightly version or the realest version? If the release try to use the nightly version

[drf-jpg]

Try to select "open with rosetta" on the preference of NineAnimator.app

This worked. I didn't try to run the nightly; I got some package resolution errors when building. It's strange that Rosetta isn't selected by default for this application if it's an Intel binary.

Not sure if I should close this issue if this requires some kind of bug fix in the latest "stable" release.

I recommend checking SIP.

If SIP is set to Permissive then in some situations apps will fail to launch and there will be no visual error message other than cryptic console logs. SIP needs to be on Full or Reduced.
