Hi, I’m fairly new to unity though ive developed my first ‘useful’ app and I need to export it to download for macOS. I exported it as an .app file and put it on a google drive then to download on a mac but when I downloaded it on my mac and then as I tried to open it it appeared with an error I don’t remember what it said though and I don’t have access to use a mac till around abouts the 12th of January, 2025.
Any help will be appreciated.
All errors have solutions.
When you get back to a Mac, pay attention this time and start with Google.
The complete error message contains everything you need to know to fix the error yourself.
The important parts of the error message are:
- the description of the error itself (google this; you are NEVER the first one!)
- the file it occurred in (critical!)
- the line number and character position (the two numbers in parentheses)
- also possibly useful is the stack trace (all the lines of text in the lower console window)
Always start with the FIRST error in the console window, as sometimes that error causes or compounds some or all of the subsequent errors. Often the error will be immediately prior to the indicated line, so make sure to check there as well.
Look in the documentation. Every API you attempt to use is probably documented somewhere. Are you using it correctly? Are you spelling it correctly? Are you structuring the syntax correctly? Look for examples!
All of that information is in the actual error message and you must pay attention to it. Learn how to identify it instantly so you don’t have to stop your progress and fiddle around with the forum.
Hi, turns out I didnt have to wait until January I have tried it on a different mac from the other one but it still gives me the same error
“You do not have the permission to open the application”
“Contact your computer of network administrator for assistance”
the mac is just on normal ethernet and ive tested through wifi
