Current Behavior

This is on an M2 Tahoe 26.1 ARM machine.

On boot of the homebrew installed YTMDesktop, the error “YouTube Music Desktop App” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash. appears.

It looks like only an intel mac version past 2.0.0 has been updated in homebrew. I don't immediately see a ticket describing why an ARM version is unavailable.

Looking at recent updates in the cask repo for homebrew, I see only intel versions being added. https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/pulls?q=is%3Apr+ytmdesktop-youtube-music+is%3Aclosed

What's blocking ARM releases currently?

Primarily you can blame Apple for this, as the Arm version of the instalation causes that without doing some funky extra commands to disable all of those warnings that it is "Corrupt". Why: Apple wants a safer ecosystem, but it must be signed and you must pay apple $100 for that Developer's license.
As a Free Open source project, we don't really have "funding" to buy Apple's license to Sign our code to fix the issue, and in turn we don't want people just willy nilly typing in commands to fix this lock ideally.

We still build Arm versions of the mac with each release via Github actions, and the commands are relatively easy to find online to how to fix this issue.
