ThatGame.exe

The application cannot be opened for an unexpected reason, error=Error Domain=RBSRequestErrorDomain Code=5 "Launch failed." UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=Launch failed., NSUnderlyingError=0x6000006903c0 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=111 "Unknown error: 111" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Launchd job spawn failed}}}

That led me to this article: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/676627

In short to fix it run the following command in your terminal in the folder where the app/game is located: chmod +x ThatGameMac.app/Contents/MacOS/ThatGame

You should then be able to open the app. After I opened it the first time I had to first allow it to run by going to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General > "Open Anyway"

Thank you atakker! I really appreciate the assist, as I haven't had a proper opportunity to look into a real fix.

Basically the problem is that When you build a Mac version on PC the accessibility settings are all set wrong. It's a known problem and just another example of an easy problem to fix that Unity has know about for years and just not done anything about. There are solutions to this problem, I've just been stuck in travel-limbo trying to get home to my country and not had a great opportunity to sit down and fix it.

It's a pleasure BobboDev, happy to help! If you need help compiling for MacOS I can try help as well.

P.S. Thanks for the awesome content and game.

To be specific, it's a permissions issue. I don't know how Unity messed this up, but all that's needed is to add the "x" permission to ThatGame.app/Contents/MacOS/ThatGame using chmod. I don't see why this can't be done with Windows Subsystem for Linux (although I haven't tested that), but that should be much easier than setting up a Catalina VM (although setting up a Linux VM should also be easier if WSL doesn't work, tbh).

Is this what I'm supposed to be doing? If it is then... ugh, not working. Please help, thanks.

Do the same but on the folder including the ThatGameMac game (in other words, just one folder up in the hierarchy compared to what you tried). It did the trick for me. :)

I've used the chmod +x ThatGameMac.app/Contents/MacOS/ThatGame before in the terminal, but it still docent seem to work. every single time I type it, the computer responds with

No such file or directory

try moving the game to /Applications and then type "chmod +x /Applications/ThatGameMac.app/Contents/MacOS/ThatGame"

atakker's solution worked for me, thank you!

I don't suppose someone could download the latest version, apply the fix and upload the files somewhere for me to download? Then I'll replace the file with the fixed version.

Basically, unbelievably, there doesn't seem to be a way to get around this problem unless you build the project from a Mac or Linux system, which I don't have. That or we do as I described above, which would be a massive headache to do every time, but there we are.

This should work - I zipped it back up but not sure if it'll retain the permissions. Runs fine on the Mac (M1) after giving execution permissions to the app's binary.

Thank you so much Pixafied! I think it should, especially since I'm not unzipping it. Let's give it a go :) Sorry to ask, but I actually have a new version too, I don't suppose you could do the same again with this?

I'm working on setting up a virtual machine with Catalina, just so I can do this. So shouldn't need to ask you many more times!

No worries!

This version works on my Mac! However I am noticing bugs that I think are not intentional haha. From the third level and on gravity does not have an effect on me and I will start very slowly floating upward triggered by either touching the platform or random other actions. Sometimes I can win a level still and other times I float too quickly to hit the folder. Once I got in the folder but continued floating and it never triggered a win level event haha (level 6. Didn't get past this one because of this). Perhaps this is something to do with getting it to work on a Mac that messed wit some settings? Dunno! But what I did play of the game I enjoyed!

Same here, too!

BobboDevDeveloper2 years ago

sorry guys! I had no idea there was an issue and hadn't seen your comments 🤦‍♂️

Will check this as soon as I get home!

BobboDevDeveloper2 years ago

Should run on Mac now.

You may still need to allow the file in your preferences but there's nothing I can do about that on my end.

ginkokid2 years ago

I followed attaker's fix but the app keeps quitting as soon as I open it :(

I'm on 10.13.6 High Sierra.

BobboDevDeveloper2 years ago

Hmmm, it appears maybe my "fix" is what did that. The same thing happened for me but I assumed it was just because it was running on a virtual machine.

I've uploaded the old version. Could you download that and try the fix again?

ginkokid2 years ago

I didn't try the fix with the older version, although the same thing happened. I'll try and let you know asap!

ginkokid2 years ago

Unfortunately, it does not work :( I also tried unzipping with The Unarchiver as the latest comments suggested, no luck.

Noahismeh2 years ago

I know the issue, the mac unzipper is kinda trash and does not work, download "The Unarchiver" and unzip the file using the app.

imacodr2 years ago

Using The Unarchiver it works. Download here: https://theunarchiver.com

I was able to run the game by adding executable permission:

chmod +x /Applications/ThatGame.app/Contents/MacOS/ThatGame

and then it should work

Yeah, I actually just made a video on this for my friend. The easiest way that I found to fix it is to download and run it from the itch.io app. Not sure why this works, though. There are issues with doing this with some games, but all I've seen from issues like that is texture glitches like in "4d Explorer," which turns a lot of things red.
