Tester wanted for macOS .app

[whs]

Hi!

As a long time request from macOS users, I have built an .app from macOS which is available at https://github.com/whs/runekit/releases/download/mac/RuneKit.app.zip . This .app was tested to work with my 2017 MBP running Big Sur. Notably, the bank overlay viewer works and I did some compass/knot/scan clues just fine with expected overlay (sadly I didn't get any sliding puzzle but I'd assume it work the same).

To use the .app:

Edit: Updated instruction in README

This MacBook is on loan from my company for other development works, so I'll lose access to it in a few weeks. Please report back by end of this month if you have any issues so that it could remedied. If you could attach a Console log that would be really helpful. To get those logs, search "Console" in launchpad. Click "start streaming" then launch RuneKit and proceed until the problem arise. Post those logs alongside your issue. Make sure any sensitive information is redacted

Thanks!

Hey,
I have attempted to download, unzip, and open the runekit.app on my 2019 MBP on Catalina but I receive this message each time.

You should be able to right click the Runekit icon in your tray bar, go to the settings and you should be able to add it there.

[whs]

That is supported! Go to settings, hit the topmost button (it has icon on Linux - Qt for Mac don't support OS-provided icons - maybe I'll fix that) and enter https://zerogwafa.github.io/SerenTracker/appconfig.json.

Another issue (that may just be alt1 related)
with afk warden when i try to add alerts or load a preset it just brings up an empty webpage
https://gyazo.com/3d41724931ae418d7af89958c983e9d9

[puprs]

Pressing alt1 while right clicking over a teleport doesn't select that teleport for the compass clues. input monitoring is ticked in privacy settings

[puprs]

Another thing, the overlay isn't working sadly https://gyazo.com/5bde5af4309fefe912a59675178ba0c4

[merchieeee]

I had the same issue as puprs, and I've added that code as well as followed the advice from your attached video from youtube and it still says the same as what it said for puprs!

I'm also happy to do whatever testing necessary to make it work!

I'm begging you please make this work for Macs! Its so tedious switching over to Bootcamp for clue scrolls.

[whs]

That's weird. Can you provide a screenshot of the System Preferences > Security showing that you have it on "Anywhere" and the error dialog?

For your second comment, try typing "sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine " (no quote but has the space at the end) then drag RuneKit.app onto Terminal then it should write the path automatically. Press enter, it'll ask for your login password (you must have one - it wouldn't work otherwise. There would be no typing indicator, just type and press enter) After that launch RuneKit again.

[whs]

Also, can you try "codesign --force --deep -s - " (and drag the RuneKit.app into Terminal so it would be like codesign --force --deep -s - /path/to/RuneKit.app). The command may take 2-3 minutes to run. I'm not sure if you need XCode for that which is free ~16GB download from Mac App Store.

[merchieeee]

This is the image for the "anywhere" setting and I followed your instructions for the Sudo command which seemed to work because it just came up with my name after it again whereas before, it said, file not found however running the app didn't work

[merchieeee]

I did the codesign command and it returned "resource fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed" - what does that mean?

[whs]

Can you give me screenshot of that? I wonder if the command is correct

[whs]

I could reproduce the "RuneKit is damaged" error on my Mac now, and sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine + drop the app onto Terminal solved it. It bounce in the dock for good half a minute though before it starts.

[whs]

In that case run export PS1="$ " and your terminal prompt should just be $ . Press cmd+k to clear the screen.

[whs]

The command is weird, there should be a .app at the end? Did you drag a folder instead of the app?

[whs]

The thing that you should drag should look like this . (It's a default Python app icon... I don't have a logo)

[merchieeee]

omg it literally works i want to find you and kiss you! thank you so much!

[Nevotic]

I've just tested this on a MacBook Pro 14" M1 Max. It works flawlessly. Is there an option to hide the app from the dock? (so it only opens in the menu bar)?

Thank you for this amazing port!

[whs]

I got an idea and thanks to GitHub we now have automated Mac builds - now every commits has .app for Mac alongside .AppImage for Linux.

Grab the new .app here (this link always up-to-date). Right now it should has all the same features as the last released version, but the whole process is now auditable ensuring that nothing of harm gets put in the file you download.

Hi. I tried installing runekit on my imac but it is not working. I followed the instructions in the post, but after granting the three permissions, I launch the app again and it just bounces on the dock for a few seconds and then sits there. In the top left of my screen, next to the apple icon, it says my active app is runekit, but that's it. No windows show up. The app just sits on the dock and acts as though its open while nothing happens. When I granted the second of the three permissions, there was a loading bar that showed up briefly, but that is the only sign of life I have seen so far.

In the console I see the error:

{ID: RuneKitApp-555549446f7d2eaa668f34f896e5c42a61b62a37, PID[1381], auid: 501, euid: 501, binary path: '/Users/MYUSERNAME/Downloads/RuneKit.app/Contents/MacOS/RuneKitApp'} attempted to call TCCAccessRequest without the com.apple.private.tcc.manager.check-by-audit-token entitlement

Any help would be much appreciated.

[whs]

There is no window - it should appear as RS logo top right next to your wifi icons (maybe a few icons further if you have many)

[Nuuspa]

Perfect. Thank you very much for the reply. Sorry for the confusion. I would probably know that if I had ever been able to use alt1.

[PedroArthurB]

Great job on this! I am installing this on my Big Sur and I will let you know how it performs and runs, and if I find any errors/troubles! Thank you for making this!

[merchieeee]

Since the new update and font change, afkwarden doesn't seem to detect the font and as such, doesn't really work. Any fixes for this?

[schoentoon]

I am 99% sure this is currently broken in alt1 as well and would have to be fixed on their end.

[pekempy]

Sosumi might be useful if you have a linux box- it's how I've tested macos releases/building dmg files. Have a look into it!

[puprs]

Does anyone know if this issue is alt1 related or this specific app related. Thanks.
As i'd love a fix for it

With afk warden when I try to add alerts or load a preset it just brings up an empty webpage, making it unusable.

[edrykdg]

Same problem with same graphical issue of interfaces layering with transparent menus inside the AFKwarden window and opening an empty webpage

[DanMossa]

I am also having this issue. If it matters I'm on an m1 mac

[puprs]

I'm assuming whs has given his mac back to work now though so idk if that'll be fixed :(

[scottpchow23]

I've added a PR to potentially alleviate this issue in #16.

[kdoroschak]

I can confirm that this can be installed on an M1 mac using your updated instructions!

• MBP M1 (2020)
• Big Sur 11.3.1
• Release 60d26ed
• I minimally tested this by running a couple clues

[kdoroschak]

Thank you for putting this together! I'd be happy to test more in the future as well.

Hi @whs; I'm willing to do a bit of dev work on the MacOS side of things, but I need some help better understanding how this app actually works. I'm currently working to solve this issue where the alt1 app loads, but the overlays aren't being cleared correctly between interactions, which leads to the interfaces stacking the more you interact with the app.

Here's an example with the AFK warden:

Any advice on where to start would be super helpful. From what I can tell, you're essentially running the web app at https://runeapps.org/apps/alt1/afkscape/ and just exposing the alt1 api script to it. The issue seems to be incorrectly generating a popup for the web app when it requests it, because it doesn't handle window.open very well from within the Qt app.

[scottpchow23]

Update: I found the issue; when you started opening CORS links in the browser, that did not mix well with how Afk Warden works, as it relies on the opening page in order to have access to the alt1 api. I'm currently working on a PR to include the change, but I assume you had a reason to add that protection in the first place. Would you suggest I scope this change to only affect Afk Warden or did you have another idea?

[scottpchow23]

Opened #16 to solve this.

Hi @whs and dev team, I am trying to download on mac and it isn't working. I follow the guide, have "anywhere" selected, type in the command in terminal, and it will bounce once (or not at all) on my dock and never open so I'm not able to even get to the preferences step. The trouble is with the actual launching to get it to open at all, it downloads, I type in the info, but then when I go to click it nothing responds. Could use some help on this, not sure if something is broken or wrong on my end. I'm not super tech savvy but have the basics so I could use some help. Thanks!

[hawkeye718]

After doing a myriad of system updates I got it to work. Of course I'm having problems getting it to recognize RS on one screen without minimizing RS but at least it works so I'll manage.

[DeeeeLAN]

I am on Monterey (12.0.1). I have Runekit successfully installed and can access the settings through the menu bar button, and view the list of plugins.

One minor issue is the buttons no longer have text for adding and removing plugins:

However, my major issue is I can't seem to get any of the plugins to actually do anything. I have tried with RuneScape both in full screen and windowed, but selecting a plugin from the menu bar button doesn't pop up anything. Any ideas?

[Omar9799]

Hello, I have been trying to download RuneKit following the instructions, but it doesn't open at all, once I do the terminal step and attempt to open the RuneKit.app nothing happens. I have MBP with High Sierra version 10.13.6. so my question is does it work with this software or do I need macOS 11+?

[Ghostridr]

I opened it running Ventura. You have to enable the permissions shown in the instructions before it will open. However, what I did notice was I couldn’t find it overlayed anywhere to be used.

[Ghostridr]

Is there any possible update on this .app for Mac? It's 2023 and it was released in 2021. I'm sure things have changed since then as I'm using Ventura at this point on a MBP.
