VLC nightlies won't open on Apple Silicon

The system says that VLC.app package is broken and only suggests to move it to trash.

I was able to use a couple of terminal workarounds to open the Apple Silicon VLC Nightlies. The first command will fix the move to trash issue as it bypasses a gatekeeper check that's causing the error. The 2nd commands overcomes the lack of code signing for the Nightlies. Once done, VLC will open like a charm. You may have to preface the first command with sudo.

First Terminal Command: xattr -cr /Applications/VLC.app

Second Terminal Command: codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/VLC.app

It works, indeed. I was stuck at trying to resign after removing the signature with xattr.

Thanks for the tip !
