Description
-
I am on the latest Hyper.app version
-
I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate
-
macOS Catalina 10.15.1
-
Hyper.app 3.0.2
-
Is Vanilla
Issue
Downloading the Hyper app from the website, unzipping and initiating the app resolves to the following error:

Oddly enough getting the dmg file from GitHub releases works just fine. The brew installation works as well.
