App crashes on Mac during launch

[kirbyju]

I tried it out on my Macbook but it appears to be a corrupted file that my system won't open.

Hi Justin,

Did you follow the install instructions and run the xattr command from the terminal?

Oops. My mistake, I overlooked that. However, running: % xattr -rc /Applications/Anonymizer_17.*.app

Produced:

option -r not recognized

usage: xattr [-slz] file [file ...]
       xattr -p [-slz] attr_name file [file ...]
       xattr -w [-sz] attr_name attr_value file [file ...]
       xattr -d [-s] attr_name file [file ...]
       xattr -c [-s] file [file ...]

The first form lists the names of all xattrs on the given file(s).
The second form (-p) prints the value of the xattr attr_name.
The third form (-w) sets the value of the xattr attr_name to attr_value.
The fourth form (-d) deletes the xattr attr_name.
The fifth form (-c) deletes (clears) all xattrs.

Seems to work if I drop the 'r' from the command. Looking forward to trying this out!

Which version of MacOS and chipset are you using?

Apple M2 Pro on Sonoma 14.5

[mdevans]

That's strange, Apple Macbook Air on Sonoma 14.5 the recursive switch is there:

xattr -h

usage: xattr [-l] [-r] [-s] [-v] [-x] file [file ...]

   xattr -p [-l] [-r] [-s] [-v] [-x] attr_name file [file ...]

   xattr -w [-r] [-s] [-x] attr_name attr_value file [file ...]

   xattr -d [-r] [-s] attr_name file [file ...]

   xattr -c [-r] [-s] file [file ...]

The first form lists the names of all xattrs on the given file(s).

The second form (-p) prints the value of the xattr attr_name.

The third form (-w) sets the value of the xattr attr_name to the string attr_value.

The fourth form (-d) deletes the xattr attr_name.

The fifth form (-c) deletes (clears) all xattrs.

options:

-h: print this help

-l: print long format (attr_name: attr_value and hex output has offsets and

  ascii representation)

-r: act recursively

-s: act on the symbolic link itself rather than what the link points to

-v: also print filename (automatic with -r and with multiple files)

-x: attr_value is represented as a hex string for input and output

This is an interim measure whilst arranging the relevant digital certificates to sign the executables of all three platforms. Did the program run successfully after running xattr without the recursive switch?

Are you using the standard xattr command that's built into macOS? Try running type xattr You should receive "xattr is /usr/bin/xattr" if you're using the standard command

Apparently not! I guess this default was overridden when I installed python 3.11.

 % type xattr
xattr is /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin/xattr

[mdevans]

Hmmm, I wasn't aware of the python wrapper (https://github.com/xattr/xattr)

Did you manage to get the anonymizer running?

Yep, I just ran a test subject through it. Upon a cursory check it appears everything was processed. Glad to hear this is an interim measure. It'll definitely make our less tech-savvy users happy if they don't have to fuss with command line interfaces. If that's on your roadmap I don't see any reason to keep this issue open anymore.

[mdevans]

Glad you have it running now, I agree, distribution & installation of the executables for the 3 platforms should be as user friendly as possible.

Issue opened to create authorized binaries/distros
