Notes for MacOSX Monterey:

To start Bio7 on the latest MacOSX release (Monterey) install Bio7 and then codesign the Bio7.app.

Copy and paste the following zsh commands to the terminal (see: https://www.howtogeek.com/682770/how-to-open-the-terminal-on-a-mac/):

sudo cp -R /Applications/Bio7.app/Contents/MacOS/jdk $TMPDIR && sudo rm -r /Applications/Bio7.app/Contents/MacOS/jdk && sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/Bio7.app && sudo cp -R $TMPDIR/jdk /Applications/Bio7.app/Contents/MacOS && sudo chmod -R 755 /Applications/Bio7.app/Contents/MacOS/jdk && sudo rm -r $TMPDIR/jdk && sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Bio7.app

The commands will execute the following steps (with admin privileges)

1. Copy the bundled jdk to a temporary location
2. Delete the bundled jdk
3. Locally codesign the Bio7.app (won’t work with a bundled jdk)
4. Copy the jdk back
5. Correct the jdk permissions
6. Delete the jdk in the temporary location
7. Remove the quarantine attribute

Notes for MacOSX Ventura:
