MacOS Monterey and LiveCloud?

Post by stam » Tue Nov 09, 2021 11:10 am

Hi all,

Slightly OT, so i've posted here rather than in Bug Triage.
By and large the upgrade to Monterey has not introduced any bugs in LC for me so far.

However LiveCloud is possibly an unforeseen casualty of the upgrade - while this continues to work entirely normally with LC (IDE and apps), LiveCloudManager (their tool for managing the projects/databases) hangs on every single launch since upgrading to Monterey. While this doesn't really affect existing projects, it is a PITA for creating new projects/databases.

I've already reached out to Mark Talluto, apparently there are no other reports of this happening.

Is anyone else using LiveCloud on Monterey? Is this an issue or is it just me?
(or if on Monterey, would anyone be willing download their free client from the website and see if this is a reproducible issue?)

Many thanks
Stam

I can confirm this issue with the LiveCloud Manager app on Monterey - it launches, SpiceKit says its downloading stuff, and then it hangs.

In the system log I get lots of:

Code: Select all

default	12:00:32.336637+0000	kernel	ASP: Library load (/private/var/tmp/ffi7u9CRh) rejected: library load disallowed by system policy
error	12:00:32.336584+0000	syspolicyd	Disallowing load of <private> in 36442, <private>
error	12:00:32.337040+0000	syspolicyd	Unable (errno: 2) to read file at <private> for process path: <private> library path: <private>
I'm guessing it is unpacking a shared library to somewhere which Monterey does not let you load from...

MacOS Monterey gets "extremely prickly" about access of apps to folders and disks,
often asking you to grant permission to access them.

Thanks for confirming Mark - will forward on...

Just a quick note to say Mark Talluto and the LiveCloud team have confirmed and resolved the Monterey issue (and fixed an annoying UI bug at the same time ;) )
Should auto-update next time LCM runs.

The fix to the hang was to switch to LC 9.6.5 rc2. We rebuilt the standalone and everything worked in macOS 12. No code changes.
