The TeXworks-macos11-0.6.10-arm64 release cannot start

Open LckHot opened this issue 10 months ago • 9 comments

Bug description: TeXworks macos arm64 build cannot start.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

  1. Install texworks from either home brew or directly from the GitHub release page.
  2. Run texworks, a popup window shows that '“TeXworks.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.'.
  3. In order to eliminate the interference of MacOS Verification, I ran command ‘xattr -cr /Applications/TeXworks.app’.
  4. Run texworks again, a new popup window now shows that 'TeXworks quit unexpectedly.'

Expected behavior: TeXworks starts normally without these popups.

General information: TeXworks version: TeXworks-macos11-0.6.10-arm64-202502131353-git_7380941 TeXworks obtained from: both GitHub Release page and homebrew packaged release (should be the same) tried. Operating system: MacOS Sequoia Version 15.3.1 (24D70)

Additional information: The following is the debug info from the Problem report page:

Thanks for reporting. Unfortunately, I don't have a (recent) mac to test with myself. Therefore I can only guess and would be very grateful if you could perform some further tests and answer the following questions:

  • Did you (successfully) use previous versions of TeXworks on the same machine?
  • Did you (directly) overwrite a previous installation of TeXworks (which apparently could cause such problems)?
  • Did you recently perform a system update or similar?
  • Does the x86_64 version of TeXworks work (as far as I understand it, arm machines should be able to run x86_64 executables as well)?
  • Is there any change/additional information if you try to run TeXworks from the terminal?

Note: the problem seems to originate from some code signing issue while loading dynamic libraries during startup. This is interesting as TeXworks currently does not use code-signing (due to the recurring costs Apple imposes on such a process). So far, this seems to have worked out somehow, but maybe we've finally hit a road block?

I do use previous version (successfully) of TeXworks on the same machine. But since 0.6.10 is the first time aarch64 build, previously I use x86_64 build. At first I did overwrite a previously x86_64 installation with the new release. Later I realized this could be a cause of the problem. So I tried totally remove the previous install and reinstall. But seems that didnot workout. The x86_64 version works fine now. I just prefer a native version if possible.

Interesting. It seems that - for whatever reason - only some of the arm64 libraries contain signatures that apparently become invalid during packaging (where libraries are copied around, stripped of unnecessary code to reduce file size, etc.). If you have codesign installed (which is part of Xcode I think), could you try running codesign --remove-signature --deep /Applications/TeXworks.app? This should remove the spurious signatures. If that works I can include it in the automatic package creating process.

If I run /Applications/TeXworks.app/Contents/MacOS/TeXworks directly in the terminal, it shows that: zsh: killed /Applications/TeXworks.app/Contents/MacOS/TeXworks If I run open -a TeXworks, there is no output.

After running codesign --remove-signature --deep /Applications/TeXworks.app, the out put of running /Applications/TeXworks.app/Contents/MacOS/TeXworksremains unchanged, but the out put of open -a TeXworks becomes The application /Applications/TeXworks.app cannot be opened for an unexpected reason, error=Error Domain=RBSRequestErrorDomain Code=5 "Launch failed." UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=Launch failed., NSUnderlyingError=0x600001749c20 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=153 "Unknown error: 153" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Launchd job spawn failed}}}

Same issue here - also tried to remove the codesigning - same result.

Have you tried something like: codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/TeXworks.app It seems to cure the problem, but maybe the following is also required: xattr -cr /Applications/TeXworks.app

This solves my problem, thanks.

This solves my problem, thanks.

I can confirm that the two commands combined also work for me on macOS 14.7.4. Thanks for your advice.

I also confirm that this fixes a brand-new 0.6.10 install on macOS 15.6.1 (out of the box i do get the same "file is damaged" error from macOS...)
