Platform Support: macOS

• Version: >=0.9.0

Since 0.9.0, Pineapple Pictures comes with experimental macOS support. Here are the noticeable stuffs that you might want to know if you are using the macOS version of Pineapple Pictures.

Installing the application

Once the .dmg file is downloaded, double-click to open (mount) it, and drag it to your "Applications" folder to "install" it.

"ppic.app is damaged and cannot be opened" when attempt to open it

This could happen on macOS when SIP (System Integrity Protection) is enabled due to the provided binary is not signed. As long as you trust the downloaded binary, once installed, you can clear such warning by executing the following command:

sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/ppic.app

Permission dialogs like "access data from other apps" won't get remembered by the system

Since the provided binary is not signed, the system won't be able to remember these permission options you've confirmed, so you will see such warning message every time you quitted this application and opened a new application instance.

It's suggested to upgrade to version greater than 0.9.0 to reduce the possibility to see these dialogs by avoiding quit the application when closing the window (See next section).

Closing window won't quit the application

Note

This section applies to version > 0.9.0

To match up other native macOS application's behavior, since version 0.9.1, closing the application window won't quit the application.
