Downloaded the steam app, when starting it, just an empty app shows up : enter image description here

When trying to run the /Applications/Steam.app/Contents/MacOS/steam_osx manually here's the output :

    Not posting as an answer, because I don't have a Mac to test such a thing - however, I found this issue (here, on the Steam forums)[steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/2/350542145699765724/], with a possible solution. You will need to type some commands into the Terminal in order to resolve the issue. (Or just perform the changes manually) Dec 27, 2016 at 20:19

This one worked http://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/2/282992646978253149/
Basically all Steam files from
~/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/Steam.AppBundle/Steam/Contents/MacOS must be renamed to lowercase.
Execute that :

ls | while read line ; do file=$(echo $line | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'); mv $line $file; done

in all of these folders : public, steam/cached, friends, graphics, servers (relative to the folder specified above.)
