Hey sorry if this is covering old territory. I saw #15 which seems to be the same issue, but it appears it's resurfaced. When I double click the app in Finder I get:

You can’t open the application “AlDente.app” because it may be damaged or incomplete.

I'm running Catalina on the new-ish 16" macbook. Downloaded from the releases page today (2020-11-19).

Simple fix, for all apps that have this issue. Assuming you have already gone to System Preferences, and clicked open anyway.

• Open Terminal
• Change directory to wherever its located - lets say downloads
• cd ~/Downloads
• xattr -cr AlDente.app
