Btw I am using 3.12.2. I am aware that I'm using an unsupported version, but lmk if this has been come across, otherwise I'll test w/ 3.11 tmrw

[Rixxan]

Hey there! Thanks for reporting.

As of yet, we do not support Python 3.12. Particularly, some of the way we load plugins breaks in 3.12 (#1462) but that doesn't appear to be the core issue here.

Additionally, I'm not sure how our code will interact with MacOS. I can't promise much help in the way of debugging on my own, as we don't test our code against MacOS (See Supported Platforms) and I don't have a mac environment to test against.

Given that MacOS dropped support for Elite on Mac I think over half a decade ago, I'd be curious to learn what system setup you have/why you've chosen to run EDMC on a Mac? (No judgment, just sort of curious)

Let me know what you end up finding when you test against 3.11 - if issues still persist I'd be happy to see if we can figure out what's going on.

I see, that's fine.

Running on a MBP 2021 M1 Pro. I chose macOS cus I've been familiar with the Apple ecosystem and I couldn't be bothered with switching to a full linux laptop setup. Don't get me wrong, I love linux and that's what my desktop runs but the Apple ecosystem is beneficial to me for on the go needs and network administration and software development.

Got it running super smoothly using the Game Porting Toolkit by Apple which has some pretty good translation from DirectX 11 and 12 into Metal. Using crossover with ESync and D3DMetal enabled, but I plan to compile CrossOver myself cus I'm broke, and I don't want to pay for crossover. I bought the game on Elite Dangerous so I'm using Heroic launcher to launch ED with Epic Games authorization, and I'm using the Min ED Launcher to bypass the need for C# (Mono/.Net) installation. All in all it is running fine

[robigan]

Also that ARM technology lets me run Elite Dangerous while keeping my laptop at a cool 45C if I manually spin up the fans at max it is crazy.

[Rixxan]

Interesting! I'm glad to see you've found something that works well. Have you also tried running the distributed EXE's via WINE or other tools like that? (Just because I don't know if future versions will continue to include the MacOS code, simply because nobody on the team currently knows how to maintain that code or how future updates might break things) Regarding the issue at hand, I found some resources that might point us in the right direction. python-poetry/poetry#7060 seems similar to the error you were reporting, but in that case it was referred to python-poetry/poetry#5596 where it was determined that the Poetry project wasn't the issue - an issue with the Python on MacOS issue was found. Some instances have said a clean/fresh virtualenv helped. Others had a core issue with their Python install. I'd recommend checking if a clean/fresh install of the latest Python 3.11 fixes things. If not, let me know and we'll give something else a shot :)

Tried with Python 3.11, still getting the same issue...

I'll try with EXEs now

Haven't been able to setup journal mapping cus it won't load the GUI, I'll try manually editing the configuration files but yes it does make sense for it to be incorrect as ED is installed using wine

And to switch to another python version, pipenv had to delete and recreate the virtual env so I tried that and pyenv just built the latest 3.11. Although, according to this website https://realpython.com/intro-to-pyenv/ you need to install openssl readline sqlite3 xz zlib and I got warnings being recommended to use homebrew's version. I wonder if they've got anything to do but I don't think an ObjC issue has got to do with those dependencies.

Ok got it to work with the EXEs, it seems to be running flawlessly but I haven't fired up ED yet. Lyk of anymore bugs.

Having said this, maybe it's time to deprecate macOS cus I doubt anyone will get native macOS working without FDev using the Game Porting Toolkit themselves

[Rixxan]

Glad to hear it's working!

Given it sounds like this is an underlying change to the NSlibrary and I have no (legal) way to really test it, we're going to continue with the deprecation of Darwin-based platforms (See: #2186)

If you do have any issues with running under WINE, please let me know and I'd be happy to keep taking a look!

[Rixxan]

Closing in favor of #2186 as it sounds like everything is working. Yay!

Everything is still working very well
