Binaries not running on macOS 11.3.1 (M1)

[Janiczek]

System:

I get an error when trying to open any apps in the Sciter.JS SDK:

$ open bin/macosx/usciterjs.app
The application cannot be opened for an unexpected reason, error=Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-10826 "kLSNoLaunchPermissionErr: User doesn't have permission to launch the app (managed networks)" UserInfo={_LSFunction=_LSLaunchWithRunningboard, _LSLine=2539, NSUnderlyingError=0x1220109a0 {Error Domain=RBSRequestErrorDomain Code=5 "Launch failed."

Are there some other steps to run the apps? Do I perhaps need to build them on my own from the Xcode projects?

Umm... and what is not clear in this phrase "User doesn't have permission to launch the app" ?

Files copied from the web, to be executed, need to have permission from you.

Here's a link to the Stack Overflow solution for Big Sur.

Here's another possible solution for downloaded apps

Here's what I see after chmod -R 755, xattr and codesign:

Try to compile executables on your machine: https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk/tree/main/build/macosx

And libsciter.dylib should also have execute permissions I guess.

[Janiczek]

Here's what I tried

• :x: build/macosx/usciter.xcodeproj (Info.plist missing I believe)
• :x: demos/usciter/macosx/usciter/usciter.xcodeproj (binary compiles but immediately closes after running - exits without an error)
• ✅ demos/usciter/macos/usciterjs/usciterjs.xcodeproj

The last one finally built and ran successfully after running

sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine bin/macosx/libsciter.dylib

So, the binaries downloaded with the SDK are not usable for M1 users but building one of the demos at least results in something runnable:

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

This is probably off topic, but: am I correct in assuming scapp is how I should package/distribute apps (if not needing some more extensive C++ integration), and usciter is just a development environment (hot reload etc.)?

[c-smile]

• scapp is Sciter wrapped into executable - ready to be run with some html/css/script that constitute your application. It links sciter core statically so is self sufficient.
• sciter.dylib is Sciter in embeddable form as DLL, used in native applications like Norton Antivirus, Avast, AVG, BitDefender, ESET, etc. and of course usciter.app, inspector.app from SDK.

scapp is used by Sciter.Quark that can be used to generate monolithic executables that contain as sciter as resources.

Thanks for all the help and explanations!
