Howdy,

Others may very well answer too.

Arara has an internal library that could not be `signed' by Apple. Since our policy is to only include things that can be `signed' in MacTeX.pkg arara had to be removed.

You can use TeX Live Utility (TLU) to re-install arara once you've installed TeX Live 2024 with the MacTeX package. Open TLU and click on the `packages' tab to list all available packages in TeX Live. Choose the arara package (you may have to open the list of systems and choose `universal-darwin') and then `Install Selected Packages' (or maybe `Reinstall Selected Packages') in the Actions menu. 

Good Luck,
