I'm running into the exact same problem. On Catalina 10.15.7 I can normally install PlayOnMac and the steam lane. When running Steam I can login but I can't see any content in the Store tab or the Library tab so can't install anything. Go the download page PlayOnMac Download the latest version of PlayOnMac Once download, install 'PlayOnMacX.XXdmg' 'on your desktop (double click on the file) You will find inside an uninstall software (to remove PlayOnMac your computer) and the software. The app fails to open with “PlayOnMac.app” can’t be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed. Steps to reproduce. Install PlayOnMac either via homebrew-cask or directly from this DMG. System information. PlayOnMac 4.3.4; macOS Mojave 10.14.4 (18E226). After restarting the system, launch PlayOnMac again from the setup file in Downloads folder. The first launch window will appear again. This time, the installer will offer to install MS Windows fonts necessary for correct operation.
The client terminal can be installed and run on computers with Mac OS using Wine. Wine is a free software that allows users of the Unix-based systems to run an application developed for the Microsoft Windows systems. Among all the Wine versions there is one for Mac OS.
Note that Wine is not a fully stable application. Thus, some functions in the applications you start under it may work improperly or not work at all. |
The easiest way to install the trading platform is download the ready-made package from the official website. Install the platform similarly to any other application – drag the platform icon to Applications and wait for the installation to complete.
The trading platform for Mac OS supports the Apple M1 chip and works reliably on any system version including Big Sur.
The installation package is compiled using CrossOver technology. This platform is based on Wine, but unlike other projects and Wine itself, CrossOver is a commercial product. Therefore, its development is much faster: the environment is optimized for better performance of Windows applications, while detected errors are quickly fixed. In contrast to 'pure' Wine, CrossOver has more specialized nature as it is aimed at supporting the most popular office and other Windows applications. Compatibility with these applications is extensively tested and debugged, so they tend to run more stable than in Wine. The trading platform is among these applications.

You do not need to have CrossOver on your computer to install the platform from the ready-made DMG package. Accordingly, its use is absolutely free. You do not need to download any additional components or make any complex adjustments. The platform is immediately ready to go after being installed from the package.
If this does not suit you for some reason, below is an alternative way to launch the platform on your Mac.
