0.6.0 installation issue

[Ouyuegu]

Hello there- just in the process of migrating over from GLMixer, and am using 0.5.4 with little to no problem... however, when I try to upgrade, suddenly I always encounter the same error saying "You do not have permission to open the application", and then no option to grant permissions. I am running OS 11.2.3, but the same issue occurs on my wife's computer running 11.3.1.

Has anyone come across this issue before? As I said, both of us are able to run v 0.5.4 with no problem...

Many thanks in advance for your help!

I know, OSX is really becoming annoying... I am trying to 'sign' the vimix app with my AppleID, but it is not working :(

For now, I figured that user can remove the 'quarantine' on the vimix app with the following command (terminal): xattr -cr /Applications/vimix.app/

(or wherever vimix is)

The plan is vimix 0.6.1 should resove this, hopefully...

Hi, thanks for this... but it seems I'll have to wait for 6.1... I've tried a few times to do the "xattr" thing, to no avail...

It's OK... 0.5.4 is OK for now. I'll try the next version... unless there are any other things I can try out?

Hi!

I just wanted to give vimix a try, but on my MacBook Pro with macOS Mojave 10.14.6 it doesn't even start. No message, no error, no window, no icon in the dock - just nothing. I already tried sudo xattr -cr /Applications/vimix.app that didn't change anything.

I don't even know how to debug this in any way. Can i somehow start it in a terminal where i could get error messages?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your patience: indeed 0.6 is reported failing for most machines... I'll remove it for clarity.

Still, to discover vimix you can try previous builds which seemed to work fine; https://github.com/brunoherbelin/vimix/releases

NB: i only can access to 1 Mac under OSX 10.13.6 (work computer), and am not an Apple Developer myself (not using XCode), so any help on the OSX app signing and registration to Apple is welcome!

Unfortunately i am a conservative user either and i have only my 2 MacBooks with macOS Mojave 10.14 running and i am no developer either.

At least i can test if a release would run on my setup.

Hi there ! Trying to get approval by Apple to enroll the Apple Developer program (now mandatory for distributing apps), but it looks like my case is so extra-ordinary that it caused unknown errors :)

..Trying to figure it out. Thanks for your patience!

Please try the updated dmg in 0.6.0 release https://github.com/brunoherbelin/vimix/releases/tag/0.6.0

Hopefully, my registration to the Apple Developper Program allowed to generate a signed app... Thanks for informing me if this worked !

Hey!

Thanks for the new version. There is - unfortunately only little - improvement. The app tries to start, but then a window appears stating that the app can't be opened because Apple can't search for malicious software inside the app.

It MAY have to do with the GPL aknowledgment upon opening the DMG BEFORE it actually opens - but that's only speculation from my side.

Here is the error message (in german):

Edit:

You can circumvent this with pressing Ctrl while right-klicking on the app and selecting "open". Inside the app there is another error, don't know if it is critical.

Re-Edit:

It seems to work here. Now i just have to figure out what to do with it and how to use this in a stream!

[brunoherbelin]

Thanks, yes you still have to circumvent OSX protection by forcing open or accepting it in the Preference for Security (see e.g. here)

The warning is weird but definitely not critical!

Happy mixing!

See https://github.com/brunoherbelin/vimix/wiki for some info (a bit outdated, but still relevant)

Please check with version 0.6.1.

Hopefully, my registration to the Apple Developer program and signing of the app soved the problem with OSX.
