I don't use Mac, but Sphax suggests unzipping the downloaded zip on your Desktop first, before moving it to your Applications folder.

I am having the same issue - unzipping on the desktop and moving to the applications folder is nonsensical, this literally will have no effect (and it didnt). Macs an run apps from anywhere, there is nothing special about the applications folder.

Is this app compiled 64-bit? The newer versions of MacOS require that and this is the error that can happen when an app is 32-bit.

I figured out the issue. The app is not distributed with the correct permissions set - it is not set to executable. To fix this, I had to go in to the .app folder using the terminal and manually fix the permissions on CubikUpdater.app/Contents/MacOS/CubikUpdater to include execute permissions.

There are two problems you're going to run into. The second will be an inability to install the full app once it's running. To remediate this, I suggest moving the app to either /Applications or ~/Applications, then opening Terminal and running the following:

If in /Applications:
cd /Applications/CubikUpdater.app/Contents/MacOS

If in ~/Applications:
cd ~/Applications/CubikUpdater.app/Contents/MacOS

sudo chmod +x CubikUpdater
(enter sudo password)

Now app is fine to open, and you won't run into the /var/private install location issue.
