Copy paste from f95 post on here , applicable to all renpy market builds.

For the benefit of other Mac users here, these are the steps that need to be taken so that the market build app can run on MacOS.

  1. Download the market build and unzip (duh)
  2. Remove the quarantine that's imposed by Gatekeeper on about everything these days. In Terminal, type " xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine " without the quotes and drag the unzipped folder in the Terminal window so that Terminal will fill in the path to the folder for you. Mind there is a space between the command and the path. Hit enter. Quarantine should now be gone.
  3. Back to Finder. Locate the Lost_at_Birth app in the market build download and crack it open (right click, Show package contents)
  4. Check if the Lost_at_Birth file in the MacOS folder hasn't lost its execute permission during unzipping. Its kind should be Unix executable. If it's anything else, add the missing execute permission back to this file. In Terminal, type " chmod +x " without the quotes and drag the file in the window. Again, mind the space. Hit enter.
  5. Back to Finder. Create a new folder inside /Contents/Resources and name this folder autorun
  6. Now locate in the market build download the following folders and files: game , renpy , Lost_at_Birth.py and Lost_at_Birth.sh
  7. Move those folders and files from the step above to the autorun folder created in step 3. The end result should look like this
  8. That's it. The Lost_at_Birth app is now complete. You can safely discard the left over files from the market build now.

Android Port Info

1 Save Location

It always is in Documents/INCG_Saves/incg.[gamename]

This folder has a /game folder that works like a PC game folder, you can add ugu.rpy (Universal Gallery Unlocker) and 0x52 Universal Mod, rpa files, patches etc.

If you can't find it in INCG_Saves, I did a cock up and it will be in Documents/Renpy_Saves folder.

Note: This does not apply to official apks, they usually don't have external save location, some do (e.g The Inn). If something asks for external file permission when u first launch it, it should support external save, most of them live in Documents folder.

2 Dialogue Box has weird text ?

Check if it is a port that has INCG Menu, if it exists, there is high chance that switching between Multi-Sayer/Scrolling TB will fix it.
Otherwise you can report it and I'll try fixing it or give up :P.

3 Android Install, Google Play Protect and Other app police like Xiaomi Security/ Anti Virus etcs

Google play protect sometimes triggers, turn it off or just ignore it and install, it will work.
The reason is that my ports asks for storage permission for external Document folder save, to not trigger it, I have to remove that feature, which is not ok, so there is no way around it.

One other option is playing online, which I now offer in the Play section. This costs somewhat a bit, so I can only keep popular games there.
If Online version is available, there will be link to it in the post.

4 IncgWT, IncgCheats, IncgUnlocks !?

Walkthroughs I make are usually shitty, Cheats a bit more useful than my Walkthroughs. Gallery Unlock - most useful and predictable at the moment.
Doing incest patches is planned but unsure.
