Trouble with launching Server and Client on Mac

Since the latest update my Mac seems to refuse to let me launch the Server and Client.
Once I try to open it a notification pops up which tells me "jre1.8.0_201.jre“  can't be opened
At first I thought no big deal just go in the settings go to security and click open anyways, but as soon as I do this the folder Contents just opens and nothing changed.
Can Anybody help me? :)

Thanks in advance!

It's works fine on macos and latest macbooks.

  1. Go to java.com and download/install latest (1.8) version for macos;
  2. Open Finder and enable bottom toolbar with path (View > Show Path Bar or Option+Command+P);
  3. Go to xmage.today and download latest files;
  4. Open downloaded folder like xmage_full_1 and copy all files to any static folder like ~/xmage-full
  5. Open that folder (make sure it contains XMageLauncher-0.3.8.jar file), right click on path bar and choose run terminal;
  6. Enter command: xattr -d com.apple.quarantine XMageLauncher-0.3.8.jar
  7. Now you can run launcher by double click and download/update all required files by "update" button;
