Re: Cannot start Emacs from Finder on macOS Ventura

[Eric Swenson]

I'm using the emacs-nightly cask.  The result is an Emacs.app package in 
/Applications. Clicking on "Emacs.app" does nothing.  I tried making an alias 
in /Applications to the Emacs.app/MacOS/Emacs file, but clicking on the alias 
brings up a Terminal window, which invokes the emacs GUI.  I don't want that 
terminal window, just the GUI. This used to work perfectly find with the Emacs 
cask from homebrew.

I can't test ventura, but I made an alias in the Applications folder
pointing to (assuming you have homebrew)
/usr/local/cellar/emacs-mac/emacs-28.2-mac-9.1/Emacs.app (make sure
its there -- might vary a bit) and that worked for me.
