Warn and offer to move app to Applications/

[Ashton-W]

There are problems with running this app outside of Applications/, they can be resolved by warning the user and offering to install the app into Applications.

This can be implemented with the help of :

Hmm, I'd consider it to be big if there are issues outside /Applications. What are they?

They were discussed on Slack, maybe @orta can chime in

I’m getting the following error:

POD INSTALL
[!] Unable to locate the CocoaPods.app application bundle. Please ensure the application is available and launch it at least once.

Sounds like a binstub bug, but we should offer the move to /Applications regardless

Maybe replacing this could help

[manuyavuz]

Hmm, it could fix for 10.11 but we will have to use this for 10.10 version, so seems like we will need additional things.

[orta]

It would have been replaced in 10.10 - so the replacement API will be available there

[manuyavuz]

Available in OS X v10.3 and later

So yes, we could have been using it since veeery old times 😁
