Pre-built binary?

[eduardomozart]

Hello,
There's any pre-built binary available for download or instructions on how to compile it?
Screenshots showing the application interface would be great, too.
Thanks!

Good question! I don't have an Apple developer program membership, so I can't produce code signed and notarized binaries that would be generally usable. I will look into this and see what I can do.

Maybe make it available at Homebrew?
Even if it's not a code signed binary, it's possible to create an exception for it at the Security panel at System Preferences.

Hi @eduardomozart -- I have added a screenshot to the README doc, and have published a build in the releases page here: https://github.com/matthewjamesadam/Scane/releases/tag/v0.1-1. Feel free to give it a try!

If you'd like to build it yourself, you ought to be able to simply open the Xcode project and build the Scane scheme. You will need to check out the git submodules when you clone the repository.

Hello @matthewjamesadam, thank you for your efforts!
I couldn't open it at macOS Monterey 12.6 at Macbook Pro 2015. I believe it was compiled for the M1 architecture. I will try to compile it on my own through Xcode and come to report it back.
Thank you!

Hi @eduardomozart -- I did try to build the app as a Universal app, and when I look at the app's information in Finder it appears to be a Universal app:

When I check 'Open using Rosetta', which should force my Mac to use the x64 build, it does open correctly. Unfortunately I don't have an Intel Mac to try this out on, what error are you seeing?

Strange, today it opened just fine. Yesterday it wasn't opening because was saying that it was incompatible with my mac, but I restarted the system today and it opened just fine, the same app (didn't need to download it again), so I'm not sure what happened.
Thank you for developing this app. I found about it when trying to setup my network scanner to work through SANE, and I believe your project is the only one SANE frontend compatible with newer macOS actually. I wrote about your program at my blog and I hope it helps another people as it helped me. Thank you!
