Description

I have been using appdmg for a long time, and I just noticed the issue in Apple Silicon devices. Since gradually I am moving from Intel based to Apple Silicon (M1, M2 etc) macs the appdmg tools started giving this error.

Attached is the screenshot showing the appdmg version and the error.
I saw Issue#204, but could not understand how can I use it on our project.

Please help us with this.

Research direction

Start by reviewing Issue #204 and reproducing the reported “openfolder” error on an Apple Silicon device with the appdmg version shown in the attached screenshot. The issue does not name files or tests; the work appears complete when appdmg can use “openfolder” successfully on Apple Silicon.
