I have a Wine app that allows me to run a windows game on a mac. However for some reason, if I open the app directly, the binary file within opens, but it does not seem to run as intended and doesn't do its "magic" of running the exe file.
However if I go inside the package contents of the app, through /Contents/MacOS/WineskinLauncher (where the WineskinLauncher is the set Executable File to be opened as shown in the Info.plist) and double-click that binary, it actually does it's job of running the windows exe program (along with opening a Terminal window first). Confused as to why this happens, I went to Activity Monitor to see what files and ports were being opened and I found some similarities and oddities.
Through broken .app:

I'm suspecting that there must be something wrong with the settings of the plist file.
Here is the info.plist
How do I make it so I can properly run the app just by double clicking the app rather than having to go inside it and run the binary directly?
