If you’re updating to a new version of iCore, please follow the Updating to the Latest Version instructions carefully. iCore needs the right permissions from your Mac to work properly. We’re working on making this process smoother, but for now, please just make sure not to skip any steps.

Updating to the Latest Version

1. Download the latest version from Releases.

2. If you’ve installed a previous version of iCore, delete that from the Applications folder manually.

3. Open the file and drag and drop the iCore icon into the Applications folder.

   

4. Re-grant iCore full disk access from the Mac System Settings

   • Navigate to System Settings > Privacy and Security > Full Disk Access

   • First, remove the old app (AIMINER or iCore) from the list by highlighting it and then clicking the “-” icon on the bottom left of the window.

     

   • Re-add the new app by clicking the “+” icon

     

5. Open the iCore app from your Applications folder.

   • Note: if you see a warning dialog that says “iCore not opened” or “iCore corrupted”, you’ll need to follow steps 6-8 from First Time Installation below.

   • Note: if your Mac prompts you to install Rosetta, Click “Install” and then restart iCore

     

First Time Installation

<aside> ⚠️

Note: iCore must be installed by an admin user of the Mac.

</aside>

1. Download the latest version from Releases.

2. Open the file and drag and drop the iCore icon into the Applications folder.

   

3. DO NOT run the app yet. You need to give it the appropriate system permissions before you do. First, navigate to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access.

   

4. From here, give the iCore app (inside your Applications folder) Full Disk Access permission by clicking the “+” icon on the bottom left of the window and then selecting the iCore app from the dialog window.

   

5. Once you’ve granted Full Disk Access, the window should look like this.

   

6. Next, open the iCore application by double clicking it from the Applications folder on Finder. You’ll get a pop-up that looks something like this. Click “Done”.

   

7. Then, open up System Settings > Privacy & Security again and scroll down to the bottom of the window where you’ll see a notice that says iCore was blocked to protect your Mac. Click “Open Anyway”.
