Exported applications do not run with El Capitan
Hello,
I am having problems running exported applications on Macs running El Capitan (and possible other versions on OS X, I had it running on a machine running Yosemite but another user reported that it did not run on his Mac with Yosemite).
If I export the application and then run that application on my machine it works fine (I am running El Capitan) but if I zip it then upload it to dropbox when it is downloaded again (onto my machine or others) it will not run and gives the following error:
“PROJECTNAME” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.
This is really frustrating and upsetting as I am in the final stages of a year long Uni project and I cannot get it out to users to test it (a significant portion of my grade). Does anyone have any idea why this is not working and any work-arounds? I need to get this working in the next few days really.
I am running the latest version of Processing (3.0.2).
Thank you so much for any help,
Charlesworth

sounds like the zipping or the uploading is corrupting something.
zip it, md5sum the zip file, upload it, download it and md5sum the download, see if they differ
Yeah they are differnt. I have also just confirmed that zipping and unzipping locally does not break it (not that I expected it to).
Perhaps Dropbox is doing something to the files when they are uploaded? Any ideas?
I just tried this with my google drive as well and had the same issue if that helps.
what are you zipping them with? can you tar / gz them instead?
what does file say about the zip file?
file your_file.zip
