HI, I installed balenaEtcher 1.19.2 on an iMac with OS 10.13.6 High Sierra but when I open it I get “Unexpected closure of balenaEtcher” or “Unable to open balenaEtcher.app. You should move it to the Trash”. How do I install balenaEtcher correctly? The latest available version of balenaEtcher with High Sierra does not work. Thanks.
