[Investigation needed] tcMenuDesigner-4.1.2.dmg is sometimes not opening #401

The dmg seems to be corrupted

davetcc commented 10 months ago

Thanks for letting me know, I’ll double check it myself later and rebuild if needed.

davetcc commented 10 months ago

Most likely the notorization failed and then it says the image is damaged. Hard to detect that on development devices as they accept the developer certificates.

davetcc commented 10 months ago

It's not that, it is properly notarized, and working on Intel Macs but not on a test Apple Silicon I tried, this may take a little time to work out what to do, as I need to work out why it failed first.

davetcc commented 10 months ago

The good news is that I have an Apple Silicon to hand, so I can debug it and find out what is wrong.

davetcc commented 10 months ago

I've got a good idea of what's going on now, after using an Apple Silicon Mac I recreated the issue. I think that Apple has stopped shipping Rosetta 2 by default, which means the Intel build will no longer work by default. Fortunately, we have an Apple Silicon Mac but it is not a developer build.

What we plan to do for now is to install "xcode tools" and a "Java JDK 20" so that we can do the build from there, but this will take a bit of time as I need to get certificates onto that machine so it is provisioned for Notarization. We'll then generate two separate images - IE Intel and arm64.

Yesterday i downloaded it 3 times on High Sierra (Intel ;) ) .... it doesnt open by diskimage mounter and also a archive utility cannot do anything with it.

tomelgato commented 10 months ago

I downloaded it again right now and its working. Maybe a hickup on my side!?

davetcc commented 10 months ago

Can’t be a hiccup as I saw the same on a non development mac too.

Something I read is that if the internet is not available at the time the image is loaded it can fail to notarise, but honestly at this point I don’t understand it, I’ll maybe first do a binary comparison of the source and uploaded file. Then raise with Apple if needed to get some guidance, the dev program comes with some support.

tomelgato commented 10 months ago

Did you reupload the file during the last 2 days? If the file is stored in a distributed content delivery network maybe some nodes have a faulty file. Just a wild guess

davetcc commented 10 months ago

I didn't reupload, but maybe there was a bad node that was taken down. That's all I can think, I will try it again later today on another Intel mac that is not provisioned with developer licenses. I think the Apple Silicon issue is separate, and I imagine the reason there are not a lot of reports on that, is because most who do embedded development have Rosseta 2 installed.

Never the less, it's probably about time to provide a native build for them, I'll start with 4.2

davetcc commented 10 months ago

I think we can stand down on this, I just retried the GitHub distro on the Apple Silcon mac (where it previously failed) and it is now working.

I'll close for now, if you see it again, please reopen.
