Hi,

Same for me trying to run beta 37 on my MacBook Pro with M1Max processor.  I installed the updated version of Java as required.

Hi @andynowlen, @nicholas64, @jhart

Thank you very much for reporting this issue.

How are you installing APP and running it? You need to run it from the Applications folder by double clicking it. Do not try to run it from the commandline with the command /Applications/AstroPixelProcessor.app/Contents/MacOS/universalJavaApplicationStub, that is not the way to run it.

I will double check on my macbooks if all works as expected in the meantime.

Hi, same here, running Mac OS Sequoia 15.5 on Mac Studio and Beta 37 would not run after an initial complaint.  Updated Java 8 runtime and installed graalvm-24 and now things seem to be working Ok.

Hi all, thank you very much for reporting the issue. The new installer indeed is not working properly. I will try to fix it as soon as possible.

Hi all, I am preparing a corrected installer, it will be available later today. I also have a temporary solution for you if you are comfortable with the commandline. You do not need to install Oracle GraalVM 24

Go to the commandline and cd to /Applications

cd AstroPixelProcessor.app

cd Contents/Plugins

in this directory you see the folder jre.jre

That is the error in this installer. You need to make a new directory jre

mkdir jre

cd jre.jre

cp -R Contents ../jre/.

After which Astro Pixel Processor 2.0.0-beta37 should work properly.

To run it from the commandline, go the /Applications

and execute

open -a AstroPixelProcessor.app

Running the universalApplicationStub will not work and that is intended behaviour with beta37.

I will let you know when corrected installers are available and please accept my apologies for this inconvenience.

Hi all,

Fixed macOS installers are available now for 2.0.0-beta37 from the downloads page or use these direct links:

Astro Pixel Processor macOS Intel 64-bit
https://appreleaseserver.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/latest-release/AstroPixelProcessor-latest-release-macOS-Intel-64-bit.zip

Astro Pixel Processor macOS Apple M Silicon 64-bit
https://appreleaseserver.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/latest-release/AstroPixelProcessor-latest-release-macOS-Apple-M-Silicon-64-bit.zip

Sorry for the inconvenience. All should work properly now without the need to install a java version yourself.

Please let me know if all is okay now.

Mabula

worked well now thanks for sorting it out so quickly!! 🙂

Great Nick @nicholas64,

Thank you very much for the confirmation and again sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Mabula

Now works on my MacBook.

Thanks

Great @jhart, glad it is fixed, thanks for the feedback and reporting the issue !

Hi, I was doing a long integration so it took some time before I could test.  This morning I deleted the Java 8 I installed yesterday and APP Beta 37 (version 1) and installed the new modified installer and can report that all is now well here too.

Great Mike @mikem,

Glad all is okay now ! Thanks for the feedback 😉
