Thanks for the reportl
Unfortunately I don't have an M1 Mac to test. I’ve successfully installed pomodorolm in a virtualized OS X, but using an x86 processor and not an ARM one.

Not sure how I could test it on ARM, any help here would be welcome!

Hi, happen to find this website where you can check compatibility with Apple Silicon. Maybe this may help? Looks like it's saying it can but no luck on my end after installation. Thanks for the response!

I’ve updated the dependencies of the project (especially Tauri) to the latest version in https://github.com/vjousse/pomodorolm/releases/tag/app-v0.3.4

Could give it a try to see if it helps @JPPalacios ?

Hi, I was able to fix the issue following this reddit thread. Looks like Apple is picky about third-party developers.

tldr; run the following command with sudo mode: xattr -cr /Applications/pomodorolm.app. Looks like v0.3.4 works as expected! I am sure that the same applies to earlier versions too.

Awesome, thanks for the follow up! I’ll integrate it in the troubleshooting section.
