I hope it gave you some clarification on what’s going on with AppTrap. I’d like to learn a bit more before I start to delve into stuff that I’m not as familiar with.Īnyway, this post was longer than I expected it to be. I’ve tried compiling the background process as 64 bit, and although it compiles, the warnings freak me out just a little.
#Whats apptrap 64 Bit
Some of the code I’ve had to change to get AppTrap to compile as 64 bit also requires Leopard. That’s mostly because of the 64 bit-ness.
#Whats apptrap 32 bit
In the case of System Preferences, because it’s already running, it has to quit itself and then restart as a 32 bit process.ġ.1.1 will also be dropping support for Tiger.
If one of the plugins is 32 bit, then the application will run as a 32 bit process instead of as a 64 bit process. It’s akin to a 64 bit application requiring 64 bit plugins.
Snow Leopard’s System Preferences supports the loading of 32 bit preference panes, but, being a 64 bit application itself, it must restart in order to load them. The change isn’t for the imperceptibly small performance improvement, but for convenience’s sake. The main improvement for the Snow Leopard version of AppTrap, henceforth known as 1.1.1, is 64 bit support. The current version should work fine on Snow Leopard, so you’ll be OK while I get the next release ready. If there aren’t any crazy last-minute bugs, it should be released sometime between Friday and early next week, depending on when I get my copy. I just need to get my hands on a copy of the OS to do some final testing. In the meantime, the above workaround will have to do.ĪppTrap for Snow Leopard is pretty much done. I just won’t be able to get it until next year. That doesn’t mean that I won’t get the membership. I’m already paying for the iOS Developer Program membership which costs another $100 per year and I’m a student whose last term and associated tuition is coming up in September. With that membership I can digitally sign AppTrap. The only way for me to make this dialog disappear is to sign up as a Mac Developer Program member for a $100 annual fee.
#Whats apptrap install
Click that and AppTrap should install itself into System Preferences and run normally.
In the meantime, you can avoid this issue by right-clicking on AppTrap and clicking Open. The resulting dialog box looks very similar to the standard Gatekeeper one above, but it also has an Open button. However those who are trying to install AppTrap in Mountain Lion will see the above dialog. If you already had AppTrap installed before upgrading to Mountain Lion then you won’t see this dialog at all and AppTrap will run just fine. Note that this only happens when you try to install the preference pane. So what happens when you try to install AppTrap in Mountain Lion today? This happens: This application will run without complaint in Mountain Lion. With this program membership, a developer can get their application digitally signed by Apple. What are identified developers?Īn identified developer is someone who has signed up for the Mac Developer Program. The default setting allows applications from the Mac App Store and identified developers. Gatekeeper allows you to specify what kinds of applications are allowed to run on your Mac.
One of the most important new features of Mountain Lion is a security setting called Gatekeeper. OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion is out and it’s a great release.
