How do I resolve issue when starting up the WGT application on my iMac?

I get the following message:

ERROR: access to /Applications/ is forbidden; run patcher in administrator mode.

I am running iOS Catalina 10.15.3

Thank you in advance

As a Mac user (iMac and MBP) I never had any issues running the app. However, curious of what might have happened to you, I uninstalled the app and downloaded it again and tried various ways to open it to see if I would get the same error message.

I did. And I think I know what you might have tried to do. Once you drag the app to the Application Folder, the app will appear in Lanchpad, which is where you open it. What I think you did, is trying to open the app from the same view as where you drag the app to the Application Folder. Thats the only time I get the same error message.

Once you dragged it to the Application Folder, close the window and locate WGT in Launchpad. That would do the trick.

cheers

Thank you for this approach. I will see if that works later. For now everything runs fine when I launch it on my iMac via Steam app so critical requirement is now met :-)

My misspelling here... I am using Mac Os (Catalina) and not iOS.

Again - now eveyrthing runs smooth through Steam app but will try alternative launch via Mac OS later again.
