Launch Error intel MacOS Sequoia 15.2

[MrTCardiffUK]

So when you try and launch it it says Launch Error see the py2app website for launch issues. In terminal...

sudo /Applications/P2PP.app/Contents/MacOS/P2PP

Thanks for any help!

I need to get my intel macbook setup to test this, but it's still on my radar.

[MrTCardiffUK]

Is it possible to install the intel version of macOS on something like parallels or virtualbox running on ARM MacOS? Might be quicker?

[MrTCardiffUK]

It also appears to be a known issue.

I actually have a x64 MacBook to try it on but I haven't had a chance to hook it up.

Now that I think about it I think the m1 and later can run x64 binaries in rosetta mode so I will try that.

I took a look into this and it appears that the universal2 build system that github actions uses does not pull in the proper x64 python libraries, so it calls the arm64 ones at run-time. I'm still investigating but in the less desirable case I may just build a dmg for each arch. WIP: https://github.com/vhspace/p2pp/tree/p2pp-x86-macos
