Problem Definition
When downloading the OSX bundle there are two executable files. One works but the other, the one with the electron logo, fails. This leads to confusion for most first-time OSX users.
Check our readme here for more details.
Task
Find out why this happens. It has something to do with our app not being an "approved" app in MacOSX and getting hit by translocation.
If possible fix it.
