We can't currently reproduce this yet, but at least we are purchasing a preowned Mac soon to be able to test on MacOS.

So I found a solution that should fix the permissions of utiLITI on macOS.

The command that I ran in the terminal:

chmod +x /Applications/litiengine-sdk-v0.5.2-beta-macos/utiliti/litiengine-utiliti.app/Contents/MacOS/*

Results:

System:

• OS: macOS Monterey 12.6.7
• LITIENGINE version: 0.5.2-beta
• Java JDK/JRE version: 20

How I was able to update the permissions for utiLITI

[nightm4re94]

oh, that's awesome! Where do you think Mac users can benefit from this information the most? I want to add this to the documentation somewhere.

[iamllcoolray]

There could be a subsection that lets Mac users know how to give utiLITI executable permissions.

I see multiple places that may be great to inform Mac users (one, some or all of these places could be helpful):

• Get LITIENGINE under the "Download the LITIENGINE SDK".
• utiLITI Section under "How to Install/Setup utiLITI".
• Creating a Platformer under "Creating a project in utiLITI".
• Creating an Arkanoid Clone under "How to create maps, use them with utiLITI and import them as a .litidata file".
• Modifying Example Projects under "Chapter 4. UtiLITI run and utilize it".

e.g.

If you're on Mac after you download utiLITI you will have to execute this command below in Terminal to give executable permissions to utiLITI: (make sure to replace the Xs with the correct version number listed on the folder)

chmod +x /Applications/litiengine-sdk-vX.X.X-beta-macos/utiliti/litiengine-utiliti.app/Contents/MacOS/*
