OPENUTAU (mac) not opening?????

[I Luv Defoko Too Much]

i updated my mac mini to macOS sequoia 15.5 and my openutau doesn't open at all when i click on it uh. i tried installing the latest version (as mine was old) but that didn't work either????? i tried installing and older version but that didn't work. no this is not about the "app is damaged" issue.

Uhh... Try restarting your computer or changing your locale. Or get Utau-synth.

You need to open the Console, should be under your utilities section. Select new command and when a text box shows up, put this command in:
xattr -rc /Applications/OpenUtau.app

It should open after.
Hope this helps.

it doesn't open after that, the command is for the error "XXX app is damaged and can't be opened". i click on it and there is no error, no windows pop up, nor does it show up in the activity monitor. (mac equivalent to task manager)

Go to the privacy and security settings on your Mac settings app, and then where it says OpenUTAU cannot be opened, press “Open anyway”, and then try opening the app again. Try that.

If what Mr. Cloud recommends doesn't work, you need to download .NET 8.0 for OpenUTAU to install, before typing in the command, "xattr -rc /Applications/OpenUtau.app" and clicking, "Open Anyway" in the settings. Here is the link to install .NET 8.0: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0

I've typed this command into Terminal many times and it always tells me there is no such file. How do I fix that issue?

I got it! For anyone maybe wondering I opened the little app folder to view all the icons and clicked the openutau one instead of opening it from terminal
