Customers have reported crashes with our macOS 64-Bit application.
It seems a bit weird, but here are some keys:
- macOS 10.13 (.6)
- Xojo-built macOS 64-Bit application is copied to a Network Volume (and launched from there)
If you then try:
- Printing from the application launched from a local drive: no issues.
- Printing from the very same application launched from a network drive: a RuntimeError dialog pops up with the Information:
Location: Common/Cocoa/RBNSApplication.mm:364, Condition: window
I’ve reported this as <https://xojo.com/issue/53241>.
Meanwhile… do you see the same with your applications? What might be the cause (what is different if application is launched from a Network Volume)?
And even more important… does anyone know of a workaround or fix?
Added Info:
- AFP Volume: afp://Server/Share → printing works
- SMB Volume: smb://Server/Share → printing results in ‘Runtime Error’
So this has to be an issue with SMB vs. AFP. However, it only affects Xojo-built applications. BBEdit for example can print just fine when launched from a SMB Volume.
The mean thing is that macOS 10.13 users should get a 64-Bit app… in order not to get the ‘This app is not optimized’ warning. And most Network Volume are being mounted with SMB nowadays.
