OSX says, "The application "CubikUpdater.app" can't be opened"

Solved!

On terminal:
chmod +x CubikUpdater.app/Contents/MacOS/CubikUpdater

That's weird you had to do that... During our tests, only Linux need to do something like that to launch CubikUpdater. CubikUpdater was working straight out of the box.

Glad you figured how to solve the issue though. ;)

Apologies for necropost (not sure if I should have started new thread..).

In any case, I encountered exact same behavior right now (two years later), and figured out how to replicate.

It seems the issue occurs only if you unzip via terminal, rather than via Finder (in which case, you probably know enough to chmod :)). I unzipped (and then renamed .app dir) once with "unzip cubik_updater_macos.zip" via terminal and again by double-clicking zipfile in Finder, and then I get:

Code: Select all

garfield:~/Downloads$ ls -l CubikUpdater-unzip.app/Contents/MacOS/CubikUpdater CubikUpdater-finder.app/Contents/MacOS/CubikUpdater
-rwxr-xr-x@ 1 spapadim  staff  58709020 Nov 24  2016 CubikUpdater-finder.app/Contents/MacOS/CubikUpdater
-rw-r--r--@ 1 spapadim  staff  58709020 Nov 24  2016 CubikUpdater-unzip.app/Contents/MacOS/CubikUpdater
No idea why unzip behaves this way, never noticed something like that before (weird indeed). But, mystery solved!
