MCreator not opening on macOS

Status
Can not reproduce
Issue description

The file download works perfectly fine, but once i go to open the Install file, it loads for a moment and then closes, crashing. I tried installing several versions (older ones), but all had the same problem. I'd add a file if i could, but screenshotting the crash report would be too many files and i can't find the crash report in my pc files

Issue comments

macOS does not have an install file but a DMG image. Please screen record what is happening and post it on say YT and link here. Thanks!

Did you follow the steps on the page I linked?

If you are not sure, make another screen recording of your new install procedure.

Hmm, could you enter this command in the terminal and paste the output here?

cat ~/.mcreator/logs/mcreator.log

This the output

Hmm, this is very strange. Did you try installing it somewhere else (eg. desktop), just to test if applications folder is the problem?

Same thing happened to me. I don't know why this would happen, since i've used another mac to open the app and it works. But I do have bootcamp, could that affect anything?
