Background: When Big Sur was released, some users received the error pictured below. We found a number of workarounds for it, but when Ventura was released, none of the workarounds worked. Since then, updates to earlier OS versions have made it so there were no workarounds for those versions either.
The error prevents you from using JamKazam.
Our engineers have created an interim version of JamKazam that bypasses this issue, and it is available for download. We are now recommending it
Download the interim version.
Download this version from:
Uninstall the previous version
1. From the finder, navigate to the Applications folder and locate JamKazam.
2. Send the JamKazam application to the trash.
3. Empty the trash.
4. Navigate to the Downloads folder and double-click the new version you downloaded.
