I installed the newest version of Katalon and later the Runtime Engine. Both installations were successful. When I tried to run Katalon, then Runtime Engine - they ended with a failure, the output from the log is listed below: ``` !SESSION 2019-11-05 12:19:56.059 ----------------------------------------------- eclipse.buildId=unknown java.version=1.8.0_181 java.vendor=Oracle Corporation BootLoader constants: OS=macosx, ARCH=x86_64, WS=cocoa, NL=pl_PL Framework arguments: -keyring /Users/mmachlowska/.eclipse_keyring Command-line arguments: -os macosx -ws cocoa -arch x86_64 -data @noDefault -keyring /Users/mmachlowska/.eclipse_keyring !ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2019-11-05 12:19:58.430 !MESSAGE Application error !STACK 1 java.lang.IllegalStateException: The platform metadata area could not be written: /private/var/folders/_4/q98qkrjj1hg8lrsxfws0f7n40000gn/T/AppTranslocation/028459C7-4376-48C7-935F-4AA977B94DBC/d/Katalon Studio Engine.app/Contents/MacOS/config/.metadata.

Did you install KSE using the `.app` file or the DMG file? ---

If you currently use macOS Catalina, you have to enable Katalon Studio and Katalon Studio Engine applications in **System Preferences/ Security & Privacy/ General**. ---

Thank you @devalex88, but I did it right after running the application, this is not the issue in my case. I have no Katalon app waiting in the privacy options to be confirmed by the trusted developer. ---
