Can't open kStars 3.7.1 in Mac OSX 14.5

[Stanley Fertig]

The Terminal line in this post is what enabled me to fix the problem:

> The "kstars is damaged" might be because they don't sign the app.  Generally you have to try to run it and after it fails, go to the System Settings > Privacy and tell it to open it anyway.  You can also run the following command from the Terminal app:

>  

> xattr -cr /Applications/kstars.app

>  

> If that doesn't work, then I don't know what's going on.
