@elmoreacts-afk ## Issue: Framework File Marked as Damaged on macOS

This is a macOS Gatekeeper quarantine issue, not actual framework corruption. When you download the godot-iap release ZIP on macOS, the framework binaries inside get marked with the com.apple.quarantine extended attribute, causing Godot to reject them as "damaged."

Immediate Workaround

Run this command in Terminal after extracting the ZIP:

xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /path/to/godot-iap/framework

Replace /path/to/godot-iap/framework with the actual path to your extracted godot-iap folder.

Why This Happens

macOS's Gatekeeper automatically quarantines files downloaded from the internet. When Godot tries to load the framework, it sees the quarantine attribute and refuses to use it, displaying the "damaged" error.

Permanent Solution

To prevent this in future downloads:

1. Before extracting, right-click the ZIP file and select "Open" (or use xattr -d com.apple.quarantine filename.zip)
2. Or use Terminal to download: curl -L https://github.com/.../release.zip -o godot-iap.zip
3. Or configure your browser to not quarantine downloads (Security & Privacy settings)

Verification

After running the xattr command, verify the quarantine attribute is removed:

xattr /path/to/godot-iap/framework

This should return no output (meaning no quarantine attribute).

If Issues Persist

• Ensure Godot has full disk access (System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Full Disk Access)
• Try re-extracting the ZIP after removing the quarantine attribute from it
• Check that the framework path in your Godot project settings is correct

Thanks for reporting this. godot-iap 2.2.9 has been published with a packaging fix for this macOS Gatekeeper case:

• Release: https://github.com/hyodotdev/openiap/releases/tag/godot-iap-2.2.9
• The default release zip no longer includes addons/godot-iap/bin/macos, so Godot on macOS should not try to load the damaged macOS runtime frameworks from the mobile release artifact.
• The generated release godot_iap.gdextension is iOS-only for native GDExtension loading, while Android is provided through the AAR plugin.

Could you please try again with godot-iap-2.2.9.zip and let us know if the warning still appears?

[elmoreacts-afk]

Alright, I just tried with the new version, it works now
