Rich_H · October 21, 2015, 11:44pm

I just downloaded Xojo 2015 R3 and installed on El Capitan? in which I can getting the following error upon launch:

“You can’t open the application “Xojo” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported”

I believe you… that is why its odd.

here is a screenshot:

Sam_Rowlands · October 22, 2015, 1:40am

I’m getting all kinds of weird crash reports from users on El Capitan, none of which occur in our testing environment. It’s actually really starting to piss me off. If you have a Yosemite backup, try booting from that and seeing if that solves your problem.

Michel_Bujardet · October 22, 2015, 1:40am

Is this the final release from Xojo.com ?

Rich_H · October 22, 2015, 1:44am

Over the weekend, I did a fresh install of El Capitan. The strange part now is, I just rebooted and its launching just fine.

here is an error report from the logs:

that is where I downloaded from. can someone download from the main link to confirm? the file downloaded is Xojo2015r3.dmg

Sam_Rowlands · October 22, 2015, 1:51am

Sounds more and more like Windows… Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Norman_P · October 22, 2015, 1:52am

So much for a “speed and stability” release

Rich_H · October 22, 2015, 2:00am

definitely an oddity with El Capitan.

thank you everyone for your input. It’s working now.

James_Sentman · October 22, 2015, 2:02am

ElCapitan has done all sorts of weird low level things to me. Eagerly awaiting the .1 release…

Michel_Bujardet · October 22, 2015, 2:14am

There was something wrong with your version. The picture you posted shows Xojo.app being dated October 16, 2015 at 6:15 PM.

The final release I downloaded from Xojo.com is dated October 17, 2015 at 12:15 AM.

Only the latest beta, before FC1, that is two releases away, is dated Oct. 16.

Norman_P · October 22, 2015, 2:17am

Patiently waiting til they hit .2, 3. or maybe 4

Sam_Rowlands · October 22, 2015, 2:22am

Out today! http://www.macrumors.com/2015/10/21/apple-releases-os-x-10-11-1-el-capitan/

I’m going to have to make the jump, I’ve got too many customers with errors that are simply not happening on the two El Capitan test machines. Only machines left are my work machine and base test machine (which stays with it’s original OS).

Have been running it as a beta for a while. 10.11.1 seems much better. Given the random nature of certain things reported here, though, I simply hope it holds.

ChristopheDV · October 22, 2015, 7:11am

I too get users complaining about errors. Mostly related to specialfolder issues. I cannot reproduce it my test machines.
Fingers crossed if it is fixed for 10.11.1

and a new version of XCode… heck shall I install it or not? Will Xojo iOS Apps work with it…

Joe_Ranieri · October 22, 2015, 11:22am

They should.

Tomas_J · October 22, 2015, 11:46am

if not, I will try out one of these new emojii symbol, guess which one

Markus_Winter · October 22, 2015, 12:01pm

Are those customers on Admin or Standard Accounts? The problems might be related to the new rootless security and / or System Integrity Protection

For example I noticed that you are not able to create certain folders in El Capitan if they do not exist already (like certain libs folders), not even using sudo in the terminal.

James_Sentman · October 22, 2015, 12:44pm

Yes, thats the new System Integrity thing. Just hiding the Library folder and locking the system out except for root wasnt enough We have to remove root access to those things too. You can turn it off, but it requires booting to safe mode and doing some terminal commands, hardly something you can ask users to do if there is something your program doesnt like.

Im not sure how they even update the system if even my authenticating to root wont let me write to them. Do we have root and SuperRoot now? I should read up how that works…
