Cannot open on MacBook Pro 13 2018 #17

Closed shog86 closed 2 years ago

“Wordless” is damaged and can’t be opened.

MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2018, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports) MacOS 12.1

First, please make sure that the path to Wordless does not contain any non ASCII-characters (Chinese characters, for example). If the problem still exists, could you please show the error message, if any?

The latest version of Wordless is tested on macOS 10.11, 10.15, and 11.6. It might not work on the recently-released macOS 12.x. I'll check and test macOS 12.x before the release of the Wordless 2.2.

I put it under the Application folder. And the first line in my first post is the message shown in the pop-up error notice window. Then I will wait for the update. Thank you!

The version of Wordless I used is 2.1.0

Confirming the error on macOS Catalina 10.15.7 (19H1323) MacBook Pro (16-inch), 2.4 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9

@ncautotest It should work on macOS 10.15. The problem might be that Wordless is downloaded from the internet. Have you tried the instruction to fix "app is damaged and can't be opened" from Baidu or Google?

BLKSerene commented 2 years ago

@ncautotest I've tested on macOS 10.15, when Wordless is downloaded from the web, you need to run the following command in the terminal:

xattr -rc your_path_to_wordless_app

Remember to replace your_path_to_wordless_app with the actual path on your computer (you can drag Wordless.app to the terminal).

@shog86 You could try it and see if this works on macOS 12.x

My MacOS version now is 12.1 (21C52), and it's working and the app opens smoothly.

I ran the command, and it showed: xattr: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Applications/Wordless.app/Contents/Resources/tcl8/8.6/tdbc/sqlite3-1.0.6.tm'

BLKSerene commented 2 years ago

@shog86 The error message could be ignored if Wordless can run.

@BLKSerene: Running the command below fixed the error and the app starts with no issue now. Thanks!

xattr -rc  /Applications/Wordless.app
