One Hour One Life Forums

Hey man, I'm in the same situation. Just downloaded it but it always give me the same "The application 'One Life' can't be opened". Sucks, because I was so excited to start playing. If it's any use for any dev reading this, it only started happening after the most recent update. Any help would be appreciated!

EDIT: Just found a solution. Go to your applications folder, look for OneLife_v58b, then inside look for an application file called OneLife_v72. This is what was officially written down by the devs:

"Sadly, the Mac platform has become a real headache in recent years.

Unsigned applications, like One Hour One Life, are sandboxed or blocked from running entirely.  If you have a modern Mac, you are probably aware of the work-arounds to launch unsigned applications (right-click and then Open as opposed to double-click, maybe).

Furthermore, Apple does some kind of strange caching of applications that prevents updates from being applied.  Even after the application is updated with a new version, the old version will still run sometimes.

To work around this issue, I need to make a NEW application after every update.  This is called OneLife_vN, where N is the latest version number---for example, OneLife_v60.  After the update, you must run this new application instead of the old one.  In fact, the old one is no longer runnable.  I try to delete it entirely, but MacOS seems to prevent this from happening.  So a "ghost" application is left behind.  This is very confusing, but I can't find a better solution to this problem.

This is an application that updates itself.  MacOS seems to make this difficult."
