Title: TinyTVConverter.app crashes on launch
Post by: jackmcdade on June 12, 2023, 11:55:48 AM
Hey there, after installing the app on my Mac (MacOS 12.6.3) and bypassing the unsigned warning, the app just opens and immediately quits. Any ideas on what I can do here?

Same issue. Just got my TinyTV 2 today and the converter app will not open on Mac 12.5.5 /M2 chip.

We're looking into it. it's very likely that using macOS 13 (Ventura) will solve this but we want to get it to work on older versions as well.

Same issue with Ventura 13.3.1... the app doesn't open at all. I double-click and nothing happens.
Any idea?
Many thanks for your help!

Hi all- we have a version of the app up at https://files.tinycircuits.com/TinyTVConverter1.0.1b.zip that was tested here on macOS 12.6.7 and 13.4, please let us know if it's working for you on 12.

@mynameisfuzzy Did you try to right-click/control-click on the app, then click open?

Thanks,
Ben

Thank you for that update! now it works for me on 13.3.1

And yes, with the previous version I had tried to right-click and click open but it didn't work either.

Now it's all good, thank you!

Add my name to the users where the TinyTVConvertor 1.0.5 does not launch... just bounces once and that's it.  Running Mac OS 10.14.6 on an Intel processor. 

If it helps debug, in the Console after attempting to launch, there is one error logged:

Prompting policy for hardened runtime; service: kTCCServiceAppleEvents requires entitlement com.apple.security.automation.apple-events but it is missing for ACC:{ID: com.tinycircuits.TinyTVConverter, PID[10675], auid: 501, euid: 501, binary path: '/Applications/TinyTVConverter 1.0.5.app/Contents/MacOS/TinyTVConverter'}, REQ:{ID: com.apple.appleeventsd, PID[61], auid: 55, euid: 55, binary path: '/System/Library/CoreServices/appleeventsd'}

followed by the following process messages:

hope this helps for a debug/version update!
