KiCad App Translocation on macOS

Software
1

Continuing the discussion from BOM plugins failing seemingly due to App Translocation:

@kevinaangstadt
The solution does not seem to work on macOS Big Sur.

It is not a KiCad problem or bug but the concept is really annoying as it takes ages for KiCad to start (probably due to the copying).

Is there a way to really fix this App Translocation??

Hm… I think I found a solution…

In a terminal window go to:

$ cd /Applications/KiCad
$ xattr kicad.app
> com.apple.quarantine
$ xattr -d com.apple.quarantine kicad.app
$ xattr kicad.app
$
