When running `tauri build`, `bundle_dmg.sh` errors `fails to bundle project`

[joepio]

Edit: the .dmg files are actually created and function correctly. You can find them in ./target/release/bundle/macos

Describe the bug

When running tauri build, bundle_dmg.sh errors fails to bundle project. Looking at the error log below, the issue seems to stem from an Apple script not being authorized: execution error: Not authorised to send Apple events to Finder. (-1743)

I tried restarting, upgrading rustc, and running sudo tauri build - didn't help.

Interestingly, tauri dev does work.

[lucasfernog]

Is this happening when running on CI? If so you need an env variable: #2567

[joepio]

Thanks for the quick reply. it's happening locally on my m1 macbook

[Avineak]

@lucasfernog I am facing similar issues with my m1 mac. It just tries to open finder and then fails with same error.

info: running bundle_dmg.sh
Error: failed to bundle project

Caused by:
    Shell Scripting Error:`error running bundle_dmg.sh, try running with --verbose to see command output`

[probablykasper]

Running into this as well, can confirm that CI=true npm run tauri build works

This should also be fixed when #1731 is done

[qqpann]

When setting CI=true, it just stops generating the DMG file. Doesn't seem to be a reasonable fix on mac. 🤔

[probablykasper]

It works fine for me, so if you're actually not getting a DMG file then that sounds like a separate issue

[lucasfernog]

You should get a DMG file, though a not so good looking one :( we'll need to refactor the DMG bundle script to fix this.

[jamesb93]

I get this error when trying to run pnpm tauri build. Same issue with finder access.

[lorenzolewis]

FYI, tracing this back into https://github.com/create-dmg/create-dmg/issues/113.

Mojave introduced a new plist value that is required for Apple Script (used in create-dmg) to work with other applications (i.e. Finder).

Maybe we could introduce an OS version check to see if it's Mojave or later and dynamically choose to tack on the CI tag to skip using AppleScript as a workaround until (if) upstream fixes?

[lucasfernog]

I wish we could stop using applescript and use something like https://github.com/LinusU/node-appdmg but it's a lot of work to translate that one to Rust.

[LucienGab]

when i run CI=true npm run tauri build it still returns the error what am i doing wrong?

[jswhisperer]

[jonasmerlin]

Same here on Mac M1

[hjmallon]

There are various threads talking about similar stuff to this. In one of them it recommended to open Photos.app and press 'Get Started' (I haven't used it before on this mac). That actually worked for some reason. 🤷

[jasonhibbs]

Commenting because opening Photos.app worked for me on an M1 MacBook Pro…

Before opening Photos.app…

Running bundle_dmg.sh
       Error failed to bundle project: error running bundle_dmg.sh: error running bundle_dmg.sh: `failed to run […]/tauri-app/src-tauri/target/release/bundle/dmg/bundle_dmg.sh`
error Command failed with exit code 1.

After…

Running bundle_dmg.sh
    Finished 2 bundles at:
        […]/tauri-app/src-tauri/target/release/bundle/macos/tauri-app.app
        […]/tauri-app/src-tauri/target/release/bundle/dmg/tauri-app_0.0.0_aarch64.dmg

[kholbekj]

For me, Photos.app did not accomplish anything on M2 Macbook Air, CI=true option does work!

[ruanimal]

It seems is macOS permission related problem, run “tarui build ” manual for the first time, problem solved.

[rekby]

I had same problem. Simple run Photos not help to me.

It was successed after manual run build script (bundle_dmg.sh from targer/release folder) and it build image. Then I unmount own builded image from finder.

[itsanji]

I had same problem with Core i7 Mac ( Ventura 13.1 ). Node version is 16.14.2 and had error with both yarn and npm. Error was shown but .App file and .dmg file was built. I tested both and look like it running without any error (yet?)

[thinksamwp]

I managed to solve this issue by running pnpm tauri build directly in the macOS terminal.

[raunakdoesdev]

The issue for me was that the previously built image was open and bundle_dmg.sh couldn't overwrite it because the old app was running (permission error). Silly problem!

[slimsag]

Run pnpm tauri build --verbose to get the underlying cause. In my case:

hdiutil: create failed - Operation not permitted
could not access /Volumes/Sourcegraph/Sourcegraph.app - Operation not permitted

Then forcibly remove the volume:

sudo rm -rf /Volumes/Sourcegraph/Sourcegraph.app

And that won't fully resolve it (not sure why); you need to restart.

[maqi1520]

Same here on Mac M1

But I turned off the updater, it works well

"updater": {
      "active": false,
      "endpoints": ["https://maqi1520.github.io/mdx-editor/install.json"],
      "dialog": true,
      "pubkey": ""
    },

[dukeeagle]

Tried all the above options on macOS and still receiving the same error! Is this still an issue for anyone else?

[dukeeagle]

I fixed it! I think the latest version of macOS is responsible here.

error when building with yarn in verbose mode yarn run tauri build -v:

hdiutil: create failed - Operation not permitted
could not access /Volumes/App/App.app - Operation not permitted

Fixed by enabling "Full Disk Access" in System Settings for Terminal! (and VSCode for its internal terminal)

[raunakdoesdev]

Neat, thanks! Very helpful :))

I had to enable full disk access. Might be a better & safer way.

[kernelsoe]

CI=true pnpm tauri build works for me! 👍

[tungtouch]

i tried it, simple to fix sudo -E npm run tauri build --verbose (you will need to use sudo -E in order to expose environment variables.) make sure disk not full

[jackiealex]

see your Mac Finder sidebar, you will see something mounted, just delete it, everyting will be ok

[JameelKhan9]

Having the same error, but a different flavour from the looks of the other comments. Just posting my flavour here for anyone that is looking to investigate and wants a clearer picture maybe:

Seems to be hdiutil permissions related, but using sudo, full disk access, mount permissions didn't help.

[lroolle]

‌‌In my situation, the Terminal.app, which has been granted Full Disk Access, functions correctly. On the other hand, the Alacritty.app error in running bundle_dmg.sh

[musabgultekin]

These steps solved my issue:

• Give finder access to terminal/vscode (Macos will popup when you first build)
• Remove src-tauri/target folder.
• Close and open the terminal/vscode
• Build again

[kodmanyagha]

This is about vscode's terminal problem. In mac's terminal there isn't problem.

[tk-dev]

This worked for me on macOS Sonoma:

Give Terminal.app the permissions to control Finder.app: Go to System-Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Automation There select Terminal and below enable the switch Finder.

[theodesp]

This worked for me on macOS Sonoma:

Give Terminal.app the permissions to control Finder.app: Go to System-Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Automation There select Terminal and below enable the switch Finder.

This solution worked for me as well.

[AaronWard]

Error failed to bundle project: error running bundle_dmg.sh

A mix of the recommended fixes worked for me (for M1 Macbook):

• Make sure settings in automation section have Finder enabled:

  

• Deleted src-tauri/target folder

• Make sure any other previous/problematic bundles are ejected / deleted or are not currently running

• Close and restart the terminal

• npm run tauri build

[kristoferfannar-ks]

I'm having the same error specs:

from a quick search it seems that this is a MacOS error, and the short term solution is to restart the machine, while the long term solution is to report it to apple and wait.

[maxktz]

Same here on Mac M1

[kyteidev]

For me it happens randomly. I just build my app again until it works.

[dondxniel]

So, at first i was running cargo tauri build, but since that failed a couple times and after reading some of the suggestions on how to bye pass the permission problems (some of the suggestions didn't work for me), I just ran sudo cargo tauri build and it worked fine.
