What is an APP file?
An APP file is an application bundle that runs under macOS, an operating system (OS) developed by Apple and designed to run on Macintosh computers. It stores multiple directories, such as Contents, Resources, and Frameworks, which contain various files that make up the application. APP files are executable files similar to .EXE files in Windows and run when double-clicked.
Because APP files are macOS packages, you can right-click (or control-click) an application and select 'Show Package Contents' to view the files contained in the package. These include resources used by the application, executables, property list (.PLIST) files, frameworks, plugins, icons, and other files.
In Windows and Linux systems, it may be possible to view the contents of a macOS application as if it were a folder. A decompression program like WinRAR may also be able to extract files from a macOS application on other operating systems.
NOTE: Files within an application package should not be edited or moved, since changes may prevent the program from running correctly.

.APP File Association 4
An APP file contains encrypted data dumped from a Nintendo Wii U video game. It stores a section of the game data, along with other APP files, that when decrypted and pieced together, can be opened and played on a computer using a Wii U emulator.
APP files are used by gamers who enjoy playing and altering Wii U games on their computers. Since APP files contain pieces of a Wii U game to reduce file sizes, all the APP files need to be present in order to play the Wii U game.
Also, Wii U APP files are encrypted and must be decrypted before they can be opened and played. A Title Metadata .TMD file, which stores metadata and the title key for the APP game, is required in order to decrypt the APP file.
APP files are named according to the number of files to which the game data was split. The files start at 0 (00000000.app), then increase from there to 00000001.app, 00000002.app, etc.

.APP File Association 5
An APP file is an archive used by a downloaded Nintendo Wii channel, or .WAD file. It contains application or game data compressed using Yaz0 or LZ77 compression and saved in the U8 archive format. APP files are typically not meant to be opened.
The Nintendo Wii gave players access to an online marketplace called WiiWare, which they could use to download additional games and applications for their console. The Wii downloaded these games and applications as WAD files which, when installed, became new Nintendo Wii channels. Each WAD file included a handful of compressed APP archives, which contained files used to install and access the new channel.
Nintendo discontinued the WiiWare marketplace at the beginning of 2019. However, homebrew gamers and Wii emulator users still use WAD files and the APP files contained within them to install Wii games and other applications.
How do I open an APP file?
Typically, Nintendo Wii players should not open the APP files included within a WAD file. However, homebrew gamers and emulator users may wish to view or extract the files contained within a channel's APP archives. To do so, you can decompress the archive using a U8 decompression tool, such as U8 Tool or Sharpii.

macOS High Sierra 10.13 introduced a new security feature that requires manual user approval before loading new third-party kernel extensions.
User Approved Kernel Extension Loading
To improve security on the Mac, kernel extensions installed with or after the installation of macOS High Sierra require user consent in order to load. This is known as User Approved Kernel Extension Loading. Any user can approve a kernel extension, even if they don’t have administrator privileges.
A walk-through of the user approval process
When a user installs an application on a Mac (either from a local source or via Managed Software Center) which loads a third-party extension, the load request is denied and macOS presents the alert shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 — The 'System Extension Blocked' dialog which you would see if you have installed the GlobalProtect VPN application for the first time.
Click on the button labeled 'Open Security Preferences', which will take you to the Security & Privacy panel of Systems Preferences (as shown in Figure 2).
NOTE: If you click the 'OK' button instead, you have 30 minutes in which to navigate to the Security & Privacy System Preference before the Allow button disappears. You would then need to restart the Mac in order to approve the system extension(s).
Figure 2— User approval to load the third-party extension. In this example, selecting 'Allow' will enable loading of kernel extensions from Palo Alto Networks, developers of the GlobalProtect VPN client.
Click on the 'Allow' button to enable the kernel extension to load so that this application (and any other applications by the same developer) will function properly on the Mac. You will be prompted if a restart is required at this time.
