i downloaded it on mac, and when it said it could not be opened due to unverified dev, i went to settings and clicked on "open anyway". Normally this fixes all problems with downloading apps, but for some reason when I click on the app, it bounces once and then doesn't open. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure you've done this:

  • In the Finder on your Mac, locate the app you want to open. Don’t use Launchpad to do this! It doesn’t allow access the shortcut menu.
  • Control + click the app icon, then choose "Open" from the shortcut menu.
  • Click "Open".
    The app is now saved as an exception to your security settings, and you can open it in the future by double-clicking it like normal.

In that case, you may want to mention it in #1078467963746787348 tamershrug

This looks like another problem that existed (or still exists?) with scarab, to solve this one you had to right click the app, click "show content", and find a "Scarab" executable file that you had to double click to open the app, so if sprite packer is designed roughly the same you can try something similar

the only thing that pops up when i open MacOS in the contents is a terminal thing that's just called "sprite-packer" that just makes the app bounce up once and close
