Unable to Open Epic Game Launcher - El Capitan

Development Platform & Builds

Very simply, I can’t open the Epic Games Launcher to install any Unreal products. Apple throws the error message:

The application "Epic Games Launcher.app" can't be opened.

There are no logs produced or other error information displayed. The only workaround I can determine is to open the package’s contents run MacOS/EpicGamesLauncher-Mac-Shipping manually from terminal.

Even though this workaround exists, it’s not documented anywhere. I submit this as a bug report so that you can identify the issue, as well as help any wandering Googlers get things going.

Hello bwritter,

I apologize for the delayed response.

Could you post your console logs as well as your System Specs?

Mac: Go to the Apple menu and click ‘About This Mac’.
