go2tv on MacOS ARM ?

[malcomhamelin]

Hello,

I didn't find anything about it, but I see there's a arm version for Linux, so do you think a MacOS ARM version is possible ? I've not been able to open it with the amd64 one (and it's not about the "the developer cannot be verified" error, it's just "This app cannot be opened")

Hello @malcomhamelin!

This is not really an issue with the build but with the fact that the mac build I share is not signed. This is something I also documented here
https://github.com/alexballas/go2tv/blob/main/README.md

MacOS potential issue

If you get the "cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified" error, you can apply the following workaround.

• Control-click the app icon, then choose Open from the shortcut menu.
• Click Open.

After the "Catalina" version, Apple made it even harder to open applications that were not signed with their notarization process. Distributing Mac software requires the usage of a Mac device. On top of that, notarizing the application requires you to be enrolled in the Apple Developer Program for $99/year. Unfortunately I'm not an owner of a Mac device.

These are practically the reasons why I'm not distributing any signed Mac builds (yet)

Hello!

Thanks for the explanation. But yeah I've tried the workaround, and it doesn't seem to work on mine, that's why I was wondering about an ARM version. Because I don't get the usual "the developer cannot be verified" popup, I get a much more definitive version :

Which means "Impossible to open the app".
Usually, when I use an app that is not signed, It still tells me "the developer cannot be verified" and I can use the control click to open an app. Do you think the workaround should still work ?

I created an arm64 build. Would it be possible to test it and let me know if it works for you?
go2tv_v1.12.0_macOS_arm64.zip

I've used the ARM build successfully - thanks a lot for this!

/.../bin/go2tv: Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64

And, if you want one more data point, it streamed to an LG 55UK6360PSF!

[malcomhamelin]

Yes of course!
Unfortunately, it can't be opened too and I get this message :

"app is broken and can't be opened. You should put this element in the bin."

[alexballas]

Thank you. I'll try to rent one M1 instance in a cloud provider to run some tests and will let you know.

I managed to get my hands on a M1 Mac Mini VM and I manually built the following build. It should work fine.
I still need to investigate why cross compilation fails.

I got to the bottom of this. Both arm builds I provided should work fine. The error "is damaged and can’t be opened" seem to be related with this https://osxdaily.com/2019/02/13/fix-app-damaged-cant-be-opened-trash-error-mac/

After I followed step 4, the application opened fine.
xattr -rc go2tv.app
Before I run this command the file had the attribute com.apple.quarantine
