Mac App won’t run because it’s broken, says macOS 10.12.2 Beta (16C63a).
When i extract the TAR Archive, i get a MBSXojoRef164.app. Then i have to look into the .app Package and there is another MBSXojoRef164.app. This is the working one…
Why aren’t you using a ZIP Archive as you do on Windows?
Xojo will output a TAR file when you build for Mac on Windows because the TAR maintains permissions and links.
I couldn’t tell you why it’s double .app’d though…
To Sascha
I am not very practical for Mac, my working PC is Windows.
I enclosed the app in a TAR file manually for upload in Google Drive.
I may have done something wrong, but it is the same procedure as the previous version.
To Tim
Windows version is compiled on Windows and Mac version on Mac (in this case MasOS Sierra)
Paolo if you build for Mac on your Windows machine, just upload the output TAR file (do not open it!)
If you build for Mac on your Mac machine, just zip the output .app and upload it.
Do not encase it in another folder you suffix with .app - that will confuse the system and it won’t launch.
Also, be sure to use my little module to access the Resources directory if you are using the old framework FolderItems. On Mac it will use declares, which is more reliable than a mess of .parent.parent.child.parent.aunt.child.sister
On Windows it will find the resources folder across Xojo versions (the name of the Resources folder changed on Windows at some point.)
Hi Sascha,
we are not very close but we will find the opportunity to meet
(especially if Xojo use become from “free time” to the “primary commitment”!)
I am not very young but I like to do software.
PS: I wanted to show a picture of my face…
Three days ago I opened an account in Gravatar, set the primary address as Xojo account, inserted the foto but the picture is not shown!
