AddOnAdmin for 22

I just downloaded the dev kit for 22 and the AddOnAdmin.app still does not work with my Mac. Throws an exception. i have to go back to ver. 19 to get one that works which is very strange. - YES, i have reported this before. --- High Sierra - 10.13.5 Mac Book Pro (2013) i assume this is some kind of security issue but wish Graphisoft would pay some attention to this. This is getting old!!

Runs OK from terminal with above path.

Addonadmin.app only will run in Archicad22 dir.

Copied addonadmin (exec) to decktop and it runs there.

Previously sent exception report yesterday to boldizar vermes.

On newer macOS systems when you download the devkit from the internet and mount the disk image, then the OS puts it into a quarantine unless the application is code signed. This quarantine causes the crash, because when that application starts up and begins to load its frameworks, the OS loads those frameworks to random memory addresses, and the application can't find them.
At the moment we do not code sign the AddOnAdmin app; you have to copy the whole devkit to a local folder, then start the AddOnAdmin app by choosing "Open" from the right-click context menu.

Best, Akos
