I had a similar experience with a side project. I used an .app tld since it was available and, hey, it seemed kind of cool. Then I told my friends and they were totally confused- “your apps not on the App Store?”

Ugh. Lesson learned.

I own a .app domain and in naming a folder on my Mac that I lost the ability to open the folder in Finder. Cracked me up and outside of the terminal I could find no solution.

Right click and View Content should help you out

This is good to note. I remember I was trying to hit return to rename it and that would just open it. I was probably tired because I felt so flabbergasted! It looks like you can rename from right click too. Not sure how I missed that

Theres a mac toggle to show hidden files/folder in finder. The prefix . makes those folders hidden

Thanks for this reply - for me it was “website.app” so this wouldn’t have applied
