install app on a mac
Hi there
I develop on windows the app colormixer. When i give the app my son - he works on a mac - and he doubleclick on the colormixer.app (folder by me in windows), then nothing happen. What goes wrong? Thanks.
Best, Fredi

Try zipping the .app before copying it over to your son's Mac.

Hi Fredi,
you build a standalone for Mac on Windows and that does not work on a Mac?
Try to ZIP that "folder" first before transferring it to your sons Mac!
Then he needs to unZIP it first (just a doubleclick on a Mac
) and
then the APP should be working.
There is a technical reason behind this, that I still don't understand completely,
(an executable bit does and cannot be set on Windows, but the MacOS will do this
when unZIPping that file! Or so...
) that mostly works.
