alice-teacher Apple silicon Mac version of Alice Player doesn't work

[Daniel Abeshouse]

James,

I had thought this was only a problem on the Mac silicon if you did not install Rosetta, but it seems my optimism was misplaced.
I don’t have a fix for you yet, but I can offer a work around.

You can edit the recent worlds list and the next time the player starts you can click to open, bypassing the dialog.
It can be found in:
'/Users/{USERNAME}/Library/Application Support/org.alice.player/recentWorlds.txt’
Add the full path to a world on each line.

I have opened a bug on GitHub - https://github.com/TheAliceProject/alice-unity-player/issues/259
