Info.plist: declare CFBundleSupportedPlatforms = [MacOSX] (fixes #8) - #10
Merged
Conversation
On Apple Silicon, System Profiler classified TextMate.app as an iOS app (arch_ios) instead of Apple Chips (arch_arm) because the bundle lacked the CFBundleSupportedPlatforms key. Declare macOS as the sole supported platform, matching the fix adopted by LibreOffice, VS Code, GIMP, Zed, Servo, and CPython. Fixes #8.

Fixes #8.
On Apple Silicon,
TextMate.appwas reported by System Profiler (Software ▸ Applications ▸ Kind) as an iOS app (arch_ios) rather than Apple Chips (arch_arm). The cause is a missingCFBundleSupportedPlatformskey in the bundle'sInfo.plist; without it, LaunchServices / System Profiler can misclassify a native arm64 macOS app as iOS.Fix
Declare macOS as the only supported platform:
This is the same one-key metadata fix adopted for the identical symptom by LibreOffice, VS Code, GIMP, Zed, Servo, and CPython (references in #8). Apple's own apps ship this key. The change is additive static metadata and does not affect code signing or notarization.
Test plan
system_profiler SPApplicationsDataType -xml | grep TextMate -A 9 -B 2→ showsarch_arm/ "Apple Chips".Thanks to @sierkb for the detailed report and the proposed fix.
