Recommended IDE Setup

macOS Users: "App cannot be opened" or Crash on Launch
Since this application is not signed and notarized by Apple, macOS Gatekeeper may block it from running to protect your system. You might encounter:
- A message saying the app "is damaged and can't be opened."
- An immediate crash or error window upon launching.
To fix this, please follow these steps:
- Move Aonsoku to your
/Applications folder.
- Open your Terminal.
- Run the following commands to repair the permission and signature (you may need to enter your system password):
# 1. Remove the quarantine attribute (Fixes "App is damaged")
sudo xattr -cr /Applications/Aonsoku.app
# 2. Re-sign the application locally (Fixes immediate crashes/library errors)
sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/Aonsoku.app
- You can now open Aonsoku normally.
