[PD] Attaching Xcode debugger

[Dan Wilcox]

I assume you just want to add the com.apple.security.get-task-allow entitlement key:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/68195208/2146055 <https://stackoverflow.com/a/68195208/2146055>

In this case, you would add it to mac/stuff/pd.entitlements, then build the .app bundle with the mac/osx-app.sh script.

Here is an arm64 build which is debuggable as I added the entitlements flag.

./configure --enable-debug

Pd-0.53-2-arm64-debuggable.zip <http://docs.danomatika.com/pdbuilds/0.53/Pd-0.53-2-arm64-debuggable.zip>

I tested with lddb:

lldb Pd.0.53-2-arm64-debuggable.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd
process launch

Brad's suggestion is related to the Gatekeeper download quarantine which is applied when an .app is downloaded in a zip or unnotarized DMG. This is a different issue and the easiest remedy is to ask the user to manually copy it somewhere like /Applications, then back which generally removes the quarantine flag. The *better* option from a user standpoint is to distribute the signed app within a notarized DMG. I have a makefile for that, since I had to figure this all out again last fall: https://github.com/zkmkarlsruhe/mac-dist-helper <https://github.com/zkmkarlsruhe/mac-dist-helper>

There is also "App Translocation" which is related to trying to load Resources outside of the app sandbox... you can read all about this here: https://www.synack.com/blog/untranslocating-apps/ <https://www.synack.com/blog/untranslocating-apps/>

In the article I pointed, they show how to modify the entitlements of the host, which I did successfully for a downloaded version of SuperCollider, but I don?t seem able to do this with the downloaded version of Pd...
