@ToniBarth Hey Tony. Would you consider using universal binary for Mac OS rather than separate architecture-based binaries? I think the naming may be super-confusing for beginners in the “assets” section. I ran the "open me first” and, even though it claimed the removal of “gatekeeper" restrictions, they were actually not removed for me. I am on Mac OS 26.4.1.

@vick21 Yeah, I can certainly try to get a universal binary into my workflow. Thanks for the suggestion.

@ToniBarth @vick21 I got it installed, bypassed gate keeper, but it couldn't update SWS. I tried to select all from the Details and copy to clipboard and it crashed, unless it took CMD+C as Close. I'm not sure whether it succeeded in updating anything or not. Will try again, just wanted to let you know.

@FreakyFwoof @ToniBarth I realized that to bypass the gatekeeper the app had to remind in the same folder where the "open me first” was located. The minute I moved it into the “Applications" folder, the protection got enabled again.
Like Andre said though, i also was not able to install / update all the components.

@vick21 @FreakyFwoof Try the newest 0.1.1 version, that should have fixed the unable to update problem.

@ToniBarth @vick21 That worked nicely indeed. Thanks for making that.

@ToniBarth @FreakyFwoof I am still not able to update. Also, a few things: I am using dev snapshots (unknown release date) for both OSARA and ReaKontrol. Rabbit said “won't update” in the case of ReaKontrol but “Will update" in the case of OSARA.
Even after unchecking both, the app was not able to complete the install. BTW, what's your Reapack repo so that I can add it manually? Thx!

@vick21 @FreakyFwoof ReaKontrol has no version information in the library files themselves, which is why it doesn't recommend you to update. OSARA however has, which might be why it recommends you to update. If possible, try to send me the setup-unix-<timestamp>.txt file of the latest, erroring run from your REAPER resource path/RABBIT/logs for diagnosis. Thank you.
