    1. on different mac devices, we create a macOSX build (Unity 2020.2.1f1)
    2. Compress it
    3. AirDrop or AWS S3 or GDrive it to someone else
    4. They unzip it
    5. Right click open
    6. App is corrupt

    On all the macs: Unity 2020.2.1f1 running on macOS Big Sur 11.1

    Tried this on macbook Pro, mac mini, 2 different iMac's.

    This happens because the browser puts a quarantine attribute on the app. We're actually looking at how to get around this, but a temporary workaround is to do "xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/game.app" on the command line after downloading and unzipping it.
