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

What could be the possible issue here?

Research direction

Reproduce the failure on macOS Catalina with Hyper.app 3.0.2 downloaded from the website, then compare it with the GitHub-release DMG and Homebrew installation that work. Identify the packaging difference causing the launch error; done means the website download launches successfully.
