dammit damaged apps in BigSur..

as mentioned in my first blogpost I have updated my Macbook. Since then I try to install the Mac Apps again. It feels like half of the apps can no longer be installed from my backup. Always this stupid message that the app is damaged. But it is not the well-known error of the gatekeeper of Mac OS, in the security settings was nothing to find. Here now briefly the solution, it is this command:

xattr -cr /Applications/Application.app

just enter the command and drag the .app to the terminal, then the path fills itself.

🤯🤯🤯
