There are a couple of extra steps to get the .app running on macOS since it's currently not notarized:

1. In _System Preferences -> Security & Privacy_ ensure _Allow apps downloaded from:_ is set to `App Store and identified developers`.
2. Download the _StructuredLogViewer-x64.zip_ (if on Intel Mac) or _Structured.Log.Viewer-arm64.zip_ (if on M1/ARM) from the latest [Release](https://github.com/KirillOsenkov/MSBuildStructuredLog/releases).
3. If necessary, unzip the file (Safari does this for you after downloading automatically).
4. Move the `StructuredLogViewer.app` into your `Applications` folder.
5. In terminal run: `chmod +x StructuredLogViewer.app/Contents/MacOS/StructuredLogViewer.Avalonia` to give the app execution permissions
6. In terminal run: `codesign -s- --deep StructuredLogViewer.app` to work around notarization issues
7. On the first run, right click the app on Finder and select _Open_. You will be prompted that the app is not signed by a known developer. Click _Open_.
5. MacOS Sequoia of newer: If you have "Apple could not verity StructuredLogViewer.app" error, you need to go to "System Settings" > "Privacy & Security" > "Security" > "Open Anyway" on log viewer entry.
