I thought i'd start fresh, so I downloaded the latest version of Island Rum, but now, OSX gives me this error message:

Note: I found a workaround! https://www.fireebok.com/resource/how-to-fix-that-app-can-not-open-on-macos-catalina.html

 

Hooray!

 

[edit: happy update]: Once you use the workaround once, apparently, you don't need to do so again. Single clicking works after closing and re-launching. I hope this helps other Catalina Mac users!
