  2. Select "About This Mac"

Download & Extract

Step 1: Download the Application

Download the latest version of ShaziModernUI from the official source. The file will be named something like ShaziVideoGen_V3.9.6_Mac.zip.

Step 2: Locate the Downloaded File

By default, downloads go to your Downloads folder:

  1. Open Finder
  2. Click Downloads in the sidebar
  3. Find the ShaziVideoGen_V3.9.6_Mac.zip file

Step 3: Extract the ZIP File

  1. Double-click the ZIP file to extract it
  2. A new folder called ShaziVideoGen V3.9.6 will appear
  3. Inside this folder, you'll find the ShaziModernUI application

Step 4: Move to Applications (Optional but Recommended)

For easier access, move the app to your Applications folder:

  1. Open the extracted folder
  2. Drag ShaziModernUI to your Applications folder
  3. You can now access it from Launchpad or Spotlight

Common Security Warnings

When you first try to open ShaziModernUI, you may see one of these warnings:

Warning 1: "App is damaged and can't be opened"

"ShaziModernUI" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

or

"Python.framework" is damaged and can't be opened.

This is NOT true! The app is not damaged. This message appears because the app is not signed with an Apple Developer certificate.

Warning 2: "Cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified"

"ShaziModernUI" cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.

This means macOS Gatekeeper is blocking the app because it wasn't downloaded from the App Store or a verified developer.

Warning 3: "App is from an unidentified developer"

"ShaziModernUI" is from an unidentified developer. Are you sure you want to open it?

This is a less severe warning and can usually be bypassed by right-clicking the app.

Solution 1: Terminal Command (Recommended)

This is the most reliable method and fixes all security warnings at once.

What This Does

The xattr -cr command removes the "quarantine" extended attribute that macOS automatically adds to files downloaded from the internet. This is completely safe and only affects the app's metadata, not the app itself.

Step 1: Open Terminal

Option A: Using Spotlight

  1. Press Cmd + Space on your keyboard
  2. Type Terminal
  3. Press Enter to open Terminal

Option B: Using Finder

  1. Open Finder
  2. Go to Applications → Utilities
  3. Double-click Terminal

Step 2: Copy and Paste the Command

Copy and paste the appropriate command based on where you saved the app:

If the app is on your Desktop:

xattr -cr ~/Desktop/ShaziVideoGen\ V3.9.6/

If the app is in your Downloads folder:

xattr -cr ~/Downloads/ShaziVideoGen\ V3.9.6/

If the app is in your Applications folder:

xattr -cr /Applications/ShaziModernUI.app

Pro Tip: You can also drag and drop the folder into Terminal to auto-fill the path!

Step 3: Press Enter

Press Enter to run the command. You won't see any output if it's successful — that's normal!

Step 4: Launch the App

Now double-click ShaziModernUI to open it. It should launch without any warnings.

Solution 2: Right-Click Method

This method works for less severe security warnings.

Step 1: Locate the App

Open Finder and navigate to where you saved ShaziModernUI.

Step 2: Right-Click the App

  • Using a mouse: Right-click on ShaziModernUI
  • Using a trackpad: Hold the Control key and click on ShaziModernUI
  • Using a trackpad (alternative): Tap with two fingers on ShaziModernUI

Step 3: Select "Open"

From the context menu that appears, click "Open".

Step 4: Confirm Opening

A dialog will appear asking if you're sure you want to open the app. Click "Open".

Step 5: Done!

The app will now open. You only need to do this once — after that, you can open the app normally by double-clicking.

Solution 3: System Settings

If the above methods don't work, you can allow the app through System Settings.

For macOS Ventura (13.0) and Later

  1. Try to open the app: Double-click ShaziModernUI. It will be blocked, but this registers the app with macOS.
  2. Open System Settings: Click the Apple menu and select "System Settings"
  3. Navigate to Privacy & Security: In the sidebar, click "Privacy & Security", then scroll down to the Security section
  4. Allow the app: You should see a message about ShaziModernUI being blocked. Click "Open Anyway"
  5. Authenticate: Enter your Mac password or use Touch ID to confirm
  6. Confirm: Click "Open" in the final confirmation dialog

For macOS Monterey (12.0) and Earlier

  1. Try to open the app: Double-click ShaziModernUI. It will be blocked.
  2. Open System Preferences: Click the Apple menu and select "System Preferences"
  3. Go to Security & Privacy: Click "Security & Privacy"
  4. Click the General Tab: Make sure you're on the General tab
  5. Unlock Settings: If the lock icon at the bottom-left is locked, click it and enter your Mac password
  6. Allow the App: Near the bottom, you'll see a message about ShaziModernUI being blocked. Click "Open Anyway"
  7. Confirm: Click "Open" in the confirmation dialog

Troubleshooting

Issue: "Operation not permitted" in Terminal

Problem: When running the xattr command, you see: xattr: Operation not permitted

Solution: Grant Terminal "Full Disk Access":

  1. Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access
  2. Click the + button
  3. Navigate to Applications → Utilities → Terminal
  4. Add Terminal to the list
  5. Close and reopen Terminal, then try the command again

Issue: App Still Won't Open After Terminal Command

Solutions:

  1. Check the path: Make sure you ran the command on the correct path with no typos
  2. Run with sudo: 
    sudo xattr -cr ~/Desktop/ShaziVideoGen\ V3.9.6/
    Enter your Mac password when prompted.
  3. Run on the .app file directly: 
    xattr -cr ~/Desktop/ShaziVideoGen\ V3.9.6/ShaziModernUI.app

Issue: App crashes immediately after opening

Solutions:

  1. Check macOS compatibility: Ensure you're running macOS 10.14 or later
  2. Check the Console for errors: Open the Console app (in Applications → Utilities) and look for error messages mentioning "ShaziModernUI"
  3. Try running from Terminal: 
    ~/Desktop/ShaziVideoGen\ V3.9.6/ShaziModernUI.app/Contents/MacOS/ShaziModernUI
    This will show any error messages.

Issue: "You do not have permission to open the application"

Solution: Fix file permissions:

chmod -R 755 ~/Desktop/ShaziVideoGen\ V3.9.6/

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this app safe?

Yes! ShaziModernUI is completely safe. The security warnings appear because we are still working on full Mac compatibility. We are actively developing the Mac version and you won't see these errors in future updates.

Will this be fixed in future versions?

Yes! We are actively working on making ShaziModernUI fully ready for Mac. In upcoming updates, the app will be fully signed and you won't see any security warnings. Thank you for your patience!

Will running the Terminal command harm my Mac?

No. The xattr -cr command only removes the quarantine metadata from downloaded files. It doesn't modify your system settings or the app itself.

Do I need to do this every time I update the app?

Yes. Each time you download a new version, you'll need to run the Terminal command again (or use one of the other methods).

Can I move the app after running the Terminal command?

Yes. Once you've removed the quarantine flag, you can move the app anywhere on your Mac.

How do I know if I have an Intel or Apple Silicon Mac?

  1. Click the Apple menu
  2. Select "About This Mac"
  3. Look for:
    • "Chip: Apple M1/M2/M3" = Apple Silicon
    • "Processor: Intel..." = Intel Mac
