Error: The application 'Steam' can't be opened

[henryg]

If you receive an error message saying that 'Steam' can't be opened, please try the following steps. We believe that the issue is caused by new security features in OS X becoming confused by the Steam application's self-update feature.


First, try rebooting your Mac. The compatibility issue appears to be due to the update process itself, and may go away on a restart. OS X will only re-evaluate the security status of the Steam application after a system restart.


If the problem is not resolved, then try renaming the Steam application to anything else - for example, rename it to xSteam. Launch it once, and then quit. You can now rename it back to Steam after quitting, if this works.


The final possible workaorund is to perform a complete reinstallation of the Steam app (but not your downloaded games or save files). To do that, follow these steps:

- Drag the Steam application to the trash. If you are prompted to remove related content, choose to KEEP your content. This will ensure that all of your downloads and saved games are preserved. (If you are not prompted, then your saved games and downloads are safe and will not be affected.)

- Empty the trash.

- Go to Safari and, in the url bar, type "steam://flushconfig" (without the quotes) and press Return. Nothing much will happen, but this step is important so that OS X notices that the steam:// protocol handler has been removed.

- Restart (reboot) your mac. This step is also important, as it resets the OS X application cache.

- Now download Steam again from this website. Open the downloaded archive and drag Steam to your Applications folder again.

- Finally, launch Steam again.

Is anyone else using Mac OS Catalina? I've tried rebooting, no luck. I tried the command line suggestion, and it said "No such file".

I am also running Catalina, none of these fixes helped me and I've tried everything I can think of. Just bought a new game for Steam too.....
