I'm working on a turning a Max project of mine into a standalone, and I just cannot figure out how to stop the Max console from popping up.

Does anyone know how to remove it from a standalone, or even just prevent it from popping up when the user starts the app? Thanks!

 object into you top-level patcher - it requires no connections. Select it and open the Inspector. Near the bottom of the options, you'll see one called "Status Window Visible at Startup" - uncheck that and the Console Window will stop appearing.

Unchecking "Status Window Visible at Startup" doesn't work... The Status Window always opens.

in first place if you keep same preferences file name

as Max itself, which remembers maxwindow state, position, size ...

@source audio : So, I have known about the [standalone] object for a long time and I use it regularly. The preferences of the application are well declared but despite this, the Status Window opens.

Perhaps you have another suggestion ?

can you post which os and max version you use ?

I remove all parts of maxinterfaces.json file that I don't need,

in older max versions i simply delete it in standalones,

but max 8 > uses color definitions for few objects,

like umenu etc, so one has to keep color definitions inside.

I delete maxinterfaces.json file in standalone... but the Status Window still opens.

However, everything works fine on Windows.

can't test on anything higher than High Sierra,

but max 8.5.3 has no chance to open max console,

However, I did kill the json file and, despite that, the max console window still opens. 

note : The max console window does not open if I launch the "/myapp/Contents/MacOS/myapp" file with the terminal.

I don't know what else to do...

Maybe your system translocated your app on first run ?
