[Bug] Not working in Mac OS 15.0

[purelogarithm]

Describe the bug

Warning: The app doesn't appear to work in the latest OSX release - all you get is "the app cannot be opened" and it crashes. Not sure why it is crashing as I cannot see a crash log but nothing works even re-installing.

To Reproduce

Open app

Expected behavior

App opens normally

Environment

- OS: OSX 15.0
- Device: MacBook Pro 17inch
- Greenlight version: latest

Anything else?

No response

This issue wasn't present on most of the developer betas of Sequoia but the last two I believe had this issue. Disabling Gatekeeper with a management profile doesn't help. Running the executable via terminal is a viable workaround at the moment. Seems to only be an issue on x86_64 macOS, ARM64 macOS runs the app fine, at least for me. I have attached a crash log.

I tried running it in the terminal and it just crashed on login or it just refused to do anything. Is there anything that I missed?

I should have specified that I am running x86_64

Thanks

Just wanted to add some information here. Seeing the same behavior and a quick search around I found another project that hit the same issue:

thonny/thonny#3283

They have the issue marked as fixed but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know exactly what they did to fix it, but it might be a starting point for a solution. Something to do with packaging of scripts. Hope it helps!

In terminal just do /Applications/Greenlight.app/Contents/MacOS/Greenlight and it should launch.

Thanks! That worked (I almost panicked when my consoles for remote play weren't showing up but that was quickly resolved). I also saved the fix as an Automator shortcut application which I saved to my desktop. It's a workaround yes, but hopefully, the issue will be fixed in the next release - might need to recompile with the latest Xcode or something.

Still didn't work for me on Sequoia 15.1, it shows the same message. I can no longer bypass gatekeeper. :(

Any other work arounds please?

Edit: Nvm, I found one just a few minutes ago of this post. :)

Can you elaborate?

If you're are comfortable, install the Profile on your mac. Repo can be found in the devs profile. It will most likely get patched anyways, so I wouldn't rely on it.

I second to this.
The app is unable to launch on a latest stable version of macOS.

[purelogarithm]

So has anyone tested the terminal fix or anything on 15.1 lastest version of Sequoia?

“Please update the OS to version 15.1; the latest version of the app can run on it.”~~~~

[purelogarithm]

And you are running the latest version back in April? Cool. I'll try updating it tonight! Thanks

Sequoia moved the request to open apps in the System Settings, so to run Greenlight:

• After downloading it and moving it to Applications, double click the app, the error message will appear
• Close the prompt
• Open System Settings -> Privacy & Security
• Scroll down and there will be a button that says "Open Anyway" next to Greenlight

From now on it will just run normally.
