I have mavericks, osx 10.9.5 on a 2014 mac mini. It will let me download Gotham, but the icon is square instead of round, and when I try to click on it to install, the icon does a little flash and dives back into the dock and disappears. I've tried several different ways to get it going, including opening it straight from the download folder, and drag&drop to the app folder. Nothing works. Would I be better off with Kodi, or should I upgrade my os version to Yosemite?

One of the versions, I can't remember which the app icon on mac got changed to the square one. It sounds like gatekeeper as wgstarks suggests or a permission issue.

And if that does not work go into OSX - System Preferences > Security & Privacy - and change security settings to allow XBMC to open.

Well guys, I tried all of your suggestions, and still no go. My machine actually says that it is running, but I can't find it! And I still don't understand why the icon is square like that. Might just be outta luck.

In your OP you say that you downloaded the app and then you click on it. It's not still in your Downloads folder right? Just want to make sure you dragged it to the Applications folder before you tried to run it. Also, the logo is supposed to be square, with a white x.
