## 🍏 Known Issues in MacOS

### 2. Can not open the App
It was blocked and detected as malware by default in MacOS since we didn't do a code-signing. There is no plan to fix it in the near future. Meantime, you need to give an access manually. Check these step by step:
- Go to `System Settings` > `Privacy & Security`
- Scroll down to `Security` section
- Make sure to "Open Anyway" when it's asked
### 3. Resolve app is damaged
If the App can not be open, and show message "App is damaged", you need to enter additional command in your terminal:
```bash
xattr -c /Applications/Xhot It.app
```
