It appears destpite the installer looking to have failed, the playdate simulator has been installed correctly which I'm assuming means the SDK is installed.
From googling, the original issue looks to be Gatekeeper blocking the install of a 3rd party app, but disabling it didn't make the installer work correctly still. Weird. Oh well, working now.
