And of course right after I make a post here I solved my problem. If anyone else runs into this I was clued into the solution by this post here, After using "dotnet publish" game crashes on Mac only
The issue was the extensionless file, “YourGame”. On mac with the app packaged in the .app folder format, I navigated to the MacOS folder with all the game files through the terminal.
Run sudo chmod +x YourGame
I zipped the app, transferred it to google drive, redownloaded it and it now works like a charm.
