Doesn't start on MacOS

[zapek]

What happened?

Reported by AdamH:

Once the DMG is installed, the executable starts with the following error:
"Xeres.app is damaged and can't be opened"

This seems to be because the bundled JRE is signed but not Xeres itself or something. More details available at:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8276150

Possible solutions:

• wait for the next JDK (LTS)
• sign the executable
• tell users to use 'xattr'

How to reproduce

Install the DMG and run the executable.

Version

0.3.1

Which OS are you running?

MacOS

Relevant log output

No response

Linked to #2

Fixed in JDK 18.

[zapek]

Should be fixed since we use JDK 18 now.

[zapek]

Apparently still happens with JDK 18.

Current workaround: sudo xattr -cr /Applications/Xeres.app

And next error 🙂

Currently requires typing:

sudo spctl --master-disable

to be able to install the .dmg because it's not signed and I don't intend to sign it. Now the next issue is that the class loader is somehow null for the UI package.
