Description
There are a few known issues with MacOS:
- On the latest version of MacOS, notarization will be a problem unless the user turns it off. We need to get our builds notarized.
- On older versions of MacOS (e.g. 10.10), the binaries do not run. This is very likely because .NET Core 3+ only supports MacOS 10.13+ as per this link.
- The executables aren't
chmod'ed correctly. Doingchmod +x oss-download, for example, fixes that temporarily.

Research direction
Review the MacOS build and release process, including the oss-download executable mentioned in the issue. Start with the linked .NET Core 3+ supported-OS reference, then investigate notarization, executable permissions, and older-MacOS compatibility. Done means the released MacOS binaries address all three listed issues and are verified on the relevant versions.
