A: For Intel chips, you need to install the x64 version from the release.
After installation, you need to open the app from unidentified developers in macOS Security Settings.
For Apple chips, you need to install the arm64 version from the release.
After installation, execute the command sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/mediago.app in the console.
