Official 1.8 binaries fail to open in macos - error -1703

[pablosanjose]

The official 1.8 beta1 binaries downloaded from julialang.org/downloads fail to open in macos 12.3. They worked fine in 12.2. Both the Apple Silicon (on an M1 Macbook Pro) and the Intel (on an Intel iMac) binaries fail with the same error if Terminal was already running: The application “Terminal” can’t be opened. -1703. If Terminal was not running, it will launch, but will not initiate a Julia session.

Launching julia from the command line instead of the .app works fine.

This problem does not occur with v1.7.

(Thanks Sven-Erik Ekström for reproducing on Slack)

Possibly related: #43111

This is a macos bug on applescript, https://forum.keyboardmaestro.com/t/open-with-finder-applescript-bug-in-macos-12-3/26971?page=2, has other people with the same issue, we could fix it by changing our code or wait for apple to fix theirs.

[ViralBShah]

Maybe easiest to change our code - since it will keep popping up.

[gbaraldi]

If there is someone more familiar with applescript this thread seems to offer a solution https://forum.latenightsw.com/t/macos-12-3-introduces-serious-fundamental-applescript-bug/3666. I'm not sure how I would adapt it. We could also just revert #43111 for now.

Pinging @Evian-Zhang in case they know what to do here. It should be ok to revert as well.

I think reverting is a better solution, since the former code did not depend on open command, which may be more robust.

This seems to be fixed for me with the official 1.8 beta3. I'll close. If someone still has this issue we can reopen.

I just experienced this with 1.8.0-rc1.

julia> versioninfo()
Julia Version 1.8.0-rc1
Commit 6368fdc6565 (2022-05-27 18:33 UTC)
Platform Info:
  OS: macOS (arm64-apple-darwin21.3.0)
  CPU: 10 × Apple M1 Max
  WORD_SIZE: 64
  LIBM: libopenlibm
  LLVM: libLLVM-13.0.1 (ORCJIT, apple-m1)
  Threads: 1 on 8 virtual cores

The work around is to invoke /Applications/Julia-1.8.app/Contents/Resources/julia/bin/Julia directly from a terminal.

Got a new Macbook with M1 Max and encountered this issue on RC3, didn't have this on my old MacBook Pro M1.

[gbaraldi]

@f-ij Check if you have the latest macos? it might be that

[f-ij]

@gbaraldi Thanks, that indeed turned out the be the problem!

[pablosanjose]

The released version of 1.8.0 is again failing to open in latest macos (12.5.1) on an M1 Macbook Pro, due this time to an issue with code signing.

Can anybody reproduce?

[pablosanjose]

The newly released v1.8.1 macos ARM binary seems to have fixed this. Closing.

[helpjulia]

I have same problem! M1 macbook pro macos monterey 12.3 failed to install julia. I am really new to mac, just bought it 3 days ago and I have no clue at all. Please help!!!! thank you

[helpjulia]

The newly released v1.8.1 macos ARM binary seems to have fixed this. Closing.

could you explain to me how to get v1.8.1 macos ARM binary and how to install it? thanks

Download the file next to "macOS ARM (M-series Processor)" on the following page.

https://julialang.org/downloads/

Here is a direct link:

[helpjulia]

Thank you! I wonder what M1 did to the third party since I also encounter similar problems to other software, one is openLCA. Tried to contact Applecare and did an update, but not yet resolved the issue for another software.

Still a problem with 1.8.2 from 2022-09-29 on m1. Needs to be allowed manually in MacOS.

Downloaded from https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/mac/aarch64/1.8/julia-1.8.2-macaarch64.dmg

[pablosanjose]

Cannot reproduce in macos 12.6.1 in an m1-max macbook pro. The official Julia 1.8.2 just asks "This is an app downloaded from the Internet. Do you want to open it?", but it allows to click "yes".

This was also my recent experience.

[ymer]

I have the problem too. When I click yes to opening it, it opens a bunch of text with TextEdit.app. Mac M1 Ventura 13.1

[pablosanjose]

Again, I cannot reproduce. Ventura 13.2.1, M1 Max. Might you perhaps have an issue with the configuration of your Terminal.app?

[pablosanjose]

Since the original error "-1703" was resolved I will close this now. Feel free to open another issue with more details about your case.
