How to fix "BlueBlast is damaged and can't be opened" on Mac

This happens because macOS blocks apps that aren't signed by Apple (this is normal for r2modman/BlueBlast). The file is NOT actually damaged — we just need to remove Apple's safety flag.

1

Download the latest macOS version

Download the latest macOS version from the official link (if you haven't already).

2

Open the DMG file

Double-click the downloaded .dmg file (e.g., BlueBlast.dmg or similar).

3

Install BlueBlast to Applications

A window with the BlueBlast app will open. Drag the BlueBlast.app icon from that window into your Applications folder (there's usually a shortcut arrow shown).

4

Eject the disk image

Eject the disk image (click the eject button next to it in Finder or drag it to the trash).

5

Open Terminal

Open Terminal (press Cmd + Space, type "Terminal", and hit Enter).

6

Run the command

Copy and paste this exact command into Terminal and press Enter:

sudo xattr -cr /Applications/BlueBlast.app
lock

You'll be asked for your Mac password

Type it (you won't see the characters as you type, that's normal) and press Enter again.

7

Wait for completion

Wait a second (it will just go back to the prompt, no message needed).

8

Launch BlueBlast

Now go to your Applications folder and double-click BlueBlast.app — it will open normally with no warning!

check_circle

That's it!

From now on it will always open without any issues. You only have to do steps 5–7 once.

If you're still experiencing issues after following these steps, make sure:

  • You've copied the command exactly as shown (including the space before /Applications)
  • You've entered your Mac password correctly (you won't see characters as you type)
  • The app is located at /Applications/BlueBlast.app
