Strange problem on macOS

[Shrapnel21]

Hi and, first of all, thanks for providing a macOS version! =) I downloaded the latest version of Gearcoleco today and, quite strangely, the app just doesn't open. No errors, no crashes, nothing at all: it's just like that, I double-click it and nothing happens. Additional info: Intel CPU, macOS 10.15.7, already authorized Gearcoleco. Any idea? Thanks in advance! =)

That’s weird. Did you try right-clicking or Control-clicking the app and selecting “Open”?

[Shrapnel21]

Sure, that's what I did two times right after installing it to 'authorize' it. Tried that again later, too, when I saw that double-clicking it did nothing, but still no dice. There must be something wrong with my system that I can't still find out, I'll keep checking.

[drhelius]

Sorry, you're completely right, I was able to reproduce it my self.

[Shrapnel21]

Oh well, sh1t happens, right? =) I'm sure you'll solve that soon, thanks again for looking into it!

[drhelius]

I don't know what's going on, I was able to upload it again, download it to my Mac and get it working by right clicking and selecting "Open" after giving access in some pop-ups that appeared.

Could you try it again?

[Shrapnel21]

Same as before. If it can help, here's what I get if I try opening it from the Terminal:

LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file

[drhelius]

Did you use the new version I uploaded just now? I was able to reproduce the error with the old bundle but it's working for me with the new bundle I just uploaded.

It is definitely macOS gatekeeper preventing it to open.

Been digging a little and found a crash log, here it is. For further info, I'm currently running SDL 2.0.16.

Ok that gives some light.

SDL lib 2.0.16 is included in the bundled but It looks like is not looking in the right place for you (Gearcoleco.app/Contents/Frameworks).

Let me take a look, I'm running Big Sur (11.5.2) and Apple may have changed something (as usual).

[drhelius]

Sorry for the confusion.

I made a bundle for you to test Gearcoleco.app.zip

Let me know if this work for you

[Shrapnel21]

It now looks for the DYLD where it should, but still fails. Oh well, don't worry. I guess there something wonky with my install, probably. Thanks again! =)

Closing as can’t reproduce, don’t hesitate to open it again if you have more info.
