I seem to be having this really weird issue where Github Desktop doesn't open any windows on the mac.
Upon setup I had a window to sign in and choose my repo but after that set up no window shows up
Anyone else had an issue like this?
Is there a way I can provide log/error files?
This sounds like the same problem I had, for which I contacted GitHub Support. They suggested deleting GitHub Desktop and downloading a fresh copy (e.g., 222 in my case), then unarchiving it with the Mac Archive Utility instead of a third-party archiver (I had used WinZip). This resolved the windowing problem I had.
I had a similar problem and I resolved it by simply unzipping a fresh copy of GitHub Desktop.
I used "TheUnarchiver app" (https://itunes.apple.com/it/app/the-unarchiver/id425424353?mt=12) for this, (but any unpacking software should to the trick).

I had Docker Desktop installed for Mac Catalina last year, but I haven't used it until today, a day after updating to Monterey (from Big Sur) (I'm on a Mac Intel) when I downloaded the latest Docker Desktop dmg file (~500MB), which had me drag the icon to the folder, which I then chose to replace the existing .app file... but when opening the file (in /Applications), I get this new pop-up:
I've tried to search what this is actually going to do, and I can't tell; I use Cisco AnyConnect VPN sometimes for a project, and I'm afraid there'll be a conflict... but ultimately, I don't know what exactly I'm giving access to or if it's actually necessary. I just want to try Docker with Laravel Sail.
I know macOS over the last several years (since Catalina really) has changed filesystem stuff a lot and I end up going down StackOverflow rabbit holes trying to get things to work, so I'm hoping someone else knows how this works or has made it work and can advise.
During an attempt to reinstall Xcode9 from scratch I decided to use the XIP file download from the developer.apple.com website.
I opened the archive, moved it to the Application folder and launched it. No problem, aside from the issues I was trying to solve that are still there ...
Now I go to the App Store and I see that Xcode results as non-installed.
What should I do?
I am running it on a MacBook Pro 15" from 2016 with macOS 10.12.6.
Yes you can use multiple version all together. just be carefull when installing after download, it will prompt to replace. "do not replace" but "Keep both versions". I am also using 4 different versions for compatibility checks. :)
I'm running the Qt Open Source installer on Windows 7.
It's at 46% during the "Retrieving meta information from remote repository" step. It quickly got there and got stuck there 55 minutes already.
I tried restarting the installer and this time it got stuck again at the same step, but at 64%.
Any ideas?
Notes:
The installer name is qt-unified-windows-x86-2.0.3-1-online.exe
I believe the Qt version it's going to install is Qt 5.7, as that's the latest Qt version as of now
I'm going to try the offline installer now
The solution that worked for me was to download and use the offline installer instead of the online one.
I had the same problem and added this as custom repo in the Maintenance Tool Settings -
http://download.qt-project.org/online/qt5/windows/x86/online_repository/
After this it updated all the build-in repos and synced.
But I too really really think Qt should fix it, I have this problem every time on every machine.
It is probably due to some network issues, as mentioned by some other users.
Just play around with your network and it should work.
In my case, I disconnected my WiFi and connected again and it worked.
Last night we have released a free app in the Mac AppStore. The app didn't yet show up when searching for (parts of) the title, however, we could find it by searching for one of our existing Mac Apps and clicking through to our 'Developer Page'.
When 'buying' the app (it's actually free), the icon pops up in LaunchPad and the progress bar for downloading & installing shows. Under Snow Leopard, the icon pops into the Dock and the progress bar for downloading & installing shows.
However, in both cases, as soon as the progress bar is filled, the app directly disappears from the LaunchPad / Dock and can no longer be started.
I've checked my Applications folder, but the app is nowhere to be found. I also checked this on other systems (under user accounts that never develop in XCode), those showed the exact same problem. I've also tried downloading a few other free apps from the Mac AppStore on my own system, these downloaded and installed successfully and don't disappear.
There seems to be a problem with our app that causes this issue, but I have no idea what it could possibly be. I didn't find anyone else suffering from this problem.
First and foremost, I would love to know what causes this so we can fix it.
Secondly, I am wondering how this app ever came through Apple's review process having this issue.
Any ideas?? Thanks in advance!
An Apple Dev on the Apple Developer Forums answered this question:
Do you have a copy of that app elsewhere on the system? App Store will install it over an existing copy, whereever that copy happens to be.
A different user on my system had previously built a debug build of the app from XCode. Apparently, any downloaded versions of Mac Apps are written over those apps -- even if the old version is within the home folder of a different user on your system, any version you purchase/download from the Mac AppStore will overwrite thát version; effectively locking out the downloading user from the app that he may have just paid for.
Imho, that's a crappy way of handling 'updates'. But it's good to know our app is working fine.
Thanks for the help StilesCrisis!
Update: Apple has asked me to file a bug report for this issue, will do.
I'm developing an app on Electron, and for me problem was that I had build files in my project folder, even after I deleted the app which I installed with .dmg in Application folder. So, it seems Mac Store looks throw whole disk space and trying to find app with same app ID, and if it exists, don't rewrite it.
After deleting my .app and .pkg build from the project folder app successfully installed from Mac Store. If it will not work for you, please try to clean app related folder in these directions: ~/Library/Caches and /Library/Application Support. I did it before, and can't guarantee that removing only project build files can help you. Maybe these actions are somehow connected. And removing app build files do not work for you.
Hi
I downloaded the XCode 4 which uses the app store to download and install and took over 8 hours for the 4.1 GB download to complete.
Can I copy this install from to another machine without having to do that massive download again?
Just to be clear I know how to move files between machines its more the location and what needs to be moved that I am interested in,
Thanks in advance,
I simply copied "/Applications/Install Xcode.app" from one machine to the other after the first machine downloaded from the App Store ($4.99 version). It worked fine.
I am stumped by other answers here - I have just downloaded XCode 4.3.2 for Lion (AFAIK latest at the moment) from this site:
https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action
You only need a valid AppleID (free of charge) developer account. No credit card whatsoever.
The filtering & pagination on download page do not work properly / are somewhat weird, at least in FF. But you can still find and download the 1.8GB .dmg file there and install it wherever you want.
OP has stated that he has downloaded a 4.1GB file, so the versions might be different. I do not miss anything from mine though, it works (well, mostly - but that's just the quality of Apple software... :) ).
For what it’s worth, if you’re a registered developer you can download a single .dmg file from Apple’s website and install Xcode from that. The disc image can then be obviously copied wherever you wish.
Isn't it just a *dmg file? That's what I have done one with a previous version. Just copied it and a normal install did the trick..
The newest is called xcode_4_and_ios_sdk_4.3__final and is in my download folder...
