Yes, I also run on macOS and you need to go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy and allow the installation. It is not coming from the AppStore so they put that hurdle in the installation.

Yes, I also run on a Mac..... because this is not being downloaded from the Apple Store they put an unnecessary roadblock. You need to go to System Preferences and then Security/Privacy and click on allow install of ProjectLibre. It will then install.

has this been resolved ? I'm on Ventura and no luck... :(

The new release runs on Linux (.deb and .rpm) Windows and macOS Silicon chips. The new 1.9.8 only runs on Apple silicon not the x86 chips. You can go to Sourceforge and download 1.9.3 and it will run on the older x86 chips

TBD but good question... we are in touch with Apple who are heavy users internally. They had actually helped drive some of the development focus on 1.9.8.
Here is a note on their focus....
Apple's stance on x86 chips for their Mac computers is clear: they are no longer the future. Apple has completed its transition to its own ARM-based "Apple Silicon" chips across its entire Mac lineup.
Here's a breakdown of Apple's position and the timeline:
Completed Transition:
Apple transition from Intel x86 processors to Apple Silicon at WWDC in June 2020.
The first Macs with Apple Silicon (M1 chip) were released in November 2020.
The transition was completed in 2023 with the release of the Apple Silicon-based all new Mac computers released by Apple use Apple Silicon chips.
Future of x86 Support:
No new Macs with x86 processors are being developed or sold by Apple.

I too would love to have a newer version on x86 Mac. I will need to switch to using something else because of the lack of support for older Macs.

ProjectLibre's new release only runs on the new macOS with M silicon. It does not run with the x86 older chips. Apple has discontinued support as well. If you need to run on an older Mac then go to Files here and download version 1.9.3. If you are on the M chip like the above messages... check if you have virus protection conflict or a network issue allowing.... you still do need to to to Security / Preferences and Allow the installation as it is downloaded from Sourceforge not their app store

You need to go to Settings and Privacy/Security and allow it to install... it is a common issue with Apple not allowing install from anything not coming from an AppStore download... it will work. We do recommend the 1.9.3 version for issues with the new version. It is usually seen on older macOS with older chips but have a few issues... the workaround solution is to go to Files (here in menu) and download 1.9.3 .

Will it ever be made to run on the x86 chips? We are running on MageiaLinux9, but on v.1.9.3. It would be nice to keep up to upgrades.
Hardware: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-4590 CPU @ 3.30GHz; 156GiB RAM; MageiaLinux9; Plasma (KDE) v.5.27.10
