MacOS: App does not find data/ folder, once extracted from a .zip archive

Hello there,

when my application is extracted from a .zip archive it does not work anymore. Think there is something broken with the paths. It can not find the assets.

Folder containing the app looks like this:
data/
my.app

Fun fact is that I can run the app, when I cd into the my.app/Contents/MacOS folder and run the my binary directly. Then, all paths seem to be fine and assets are there…

Had this problem before but I can’t remember the solution I think it was some terminal command to run on the .app to fix some rights, that get compromised when you zip on the Mac.

Hope you guys can help + Thank you for your time!
Hans
