Mounting and coping .app

[venkiiee]

Dear developer ,

I am able to mount the app using

Darling [~]$ hdiutil attach Downloads/SomeApp.dmg

the command returns

Skipping partition of type Primary GPT Header Skipping partition of type Primary GPT Table Skipping partition of type Apple_Free Using partition #3 of type Apple_HFS Everything looks OK, disk mounted

but i am unable to copy it to applications folder

Darling [~]$ cp -r /Volumes/SomeApp/SomeApp.app /Applications/ cp: no such file or directory

Can you share what DMG it was?

dingtalk lite for mac https://www.dingtalk.com/en/

Could you try downloading it again and trying to mount and copy it again? It might be that the download got corrupted.

I was able to download it, mount it, and copy it just fine:

Darling [~/Downloads]$ curl -L "https://www.dingtalk.com/mac/d/qd=20170420173511985?spm=a213l2.14171110.4290834532.3.71fa549dEr1vyG&acm=lb-zebra-631264-8036408.1003.4.7546250&scm=1003.4.lb-zebra-631264-8036408.OTHER_15839668937141_7546250" > dingtalk-lite.dmg

Also, you said you did /Volumes/SomeApp/SomeApp.app so I'm guessing you did /Volumes/DingTalk\ Lite/DingTalk\ Lite.app. hdiutil actually mounts it in a location with the same directory name as the filename of the DMG. For example, if you do hdiutil attach dingtalk-lite.dmg, it'll be mounted at /Volumes/dingtalk-lite. hdiutil should output a path when it's done; this is the location where the DMG was mounted.

Yes , i was able to mount the file. But could'nt run it due to some reasons, were you able to open the installed ?

How to open the installed file ?

@venkiiee If you mean actually running the app, I think it's still too advanced for Darling. It uses the Chromium Embedded Framework (basically, a whole web browser but stripped down a bit). That's not to say that the Chromium framework is impossible to run in Darling, but at the moment it doesn't run. Right now, it seems to be missing the AudioUnit framework:

@facekapow Missing AudioUnit.framework must be some kind of omission on my part, because we do have AudioUnits, but they live in AudioToolbox.framework (AudioUnit.framework is a legacy thing).
