As you may be aware Apple made some changes that have affected App Wrapper. Some kind testers had informed me of the problems they faced and I thought I’d understood the cause and provided a duct tape workaround.
However since updating to the Monterey 12.3 final release, I am unable to even run App Wrapper in the Xojo IDE.
My replacement for Apple’s API is far off and I would like a to give it a lengthy trial period before release, so I’m working my way through this with more duct tape and super glue. I will update this post once I can get App Wrapper to launch.
In the mean-time if you need to use App Wrapper today, DO NOT UPDATE TO MONTEREY 12.3.

Are you able to share which API change/removal is to blame? Looking at the notes, I don’t see anything obvious, so I’m just curious.
It’s to do with a function for quickly providing a map of all the files within the bundle, Apple have changed the results, ever so slightly, but it’s enough to break code that’s been working for 3 years.
Version 4.4.1 Beta 3 is now available for testing. I think I’ve found all the ways the function is broken. I was finally able to run App Wrapper, it was also able to wrap itself.
I’ve also been able to run and wrap a couple of other programs, I’ve also tested the applications on macOS 10.13.

I checked this link a little while ago, and it was still for the expired Beta 1. Sam had already privately supplied me with Beta 2, and it works.
Edit from Future Jerry: Never mind. I just now revisited the page and still only saw Beta 1. But Good Things Happen when you refresh the page.
