GPAC 2.4 and 2.5-dev does not open in Mac Sonoma

[simongcc]

I am using mac package to install
macOS 14.4.1 Sonoma / M1

I have just downloaded GPAC 2.5-dev a few days ago and tried to install.
After installation, I double click to start the application.
The application does not open.
I have tried version back to 2.4. Still the same.
Before install 2.4 and 2.5-dev, there was an older one, I have forgotten the version number but it did open.

See what else information you need to know for troubleshooting.

Tried but of no positive effect:
2.4, 2.5-dev version
reinstalled the Rosetta 2

Hi,

I'm able to run the latest installer and app on a sonoma vm, but it's not an M1 so maybe there are specific issues on the new architecture.

How does the app fail for you? Does it hang, or is there an error message, on does it just not do anything?

Can you try running in a terminal:

which gpac
rm -rf ~/.gpac
gpac
gpac -gui -logs=all@debug

and post the results here?

thanks

Yes, the GPAC is compiled as Intel-based.
When I click to open the App, an normal app will jump and start. It did jump within 0.5s and disappear and nothing happen.
No crash message, no compliant, no freezing, no clues.

can you try running the commands in my previous post in a terminal?

also if you're up to it you can try building gpac from source by following the guide at https://wiki.gpac.io/Build/build/GPAC-Build-Guide-for-OSX/

which gpac
/Applications/GPAC.app/Contents/MacOS/gpac

rm -rf ~/.gpac

It is now opening normally.
Thanks for your suggestion.
