Bug Report: MacOS app bad info.plist wrongly preventing app from launching in some circumstances
`Steps to Reproduce`

Open ChatGPT on one MacOS user account. Change to another user and then you will find that ChatGPT refuses to run without the other user's instance being killed off.

See /Applications/ChatGPT.app/Contents/Info.plist and find that LSMultipleInstancesProhibited is true instead of being the correct value of false (or the key not present at all)

`Expected Result`

ChatGPT runs without concern for what other users are doing on the system

`Actual Result`

A dialogue box says that another user is running it and it cannot launch

`Environment`

MacOS 15.3
