I'm working on a fairly simple project: The patch takes 16 channels of mono audio in, 16 ch of MIDI note information in, and creates a velocity for said MIDI notes via the volume of the audio. Make sense? The patch itself is fairly simple. It was originally coded as two plug-in objects in Ableton, but we were getting latency using [send] and [receive] objects between tracks in Live, and so we've re-coded in Max 7.

The issue is that, after having created a standalone, the app opens for me totally fine but crashes on opening for other people. As a test, other members of the team have been creating standalones, with various changes and such to the patch. The standalones always open for the person that created them, but NOT for anyone else.

Here's some probably-relevant text from the crash log:

In doing some digging, it seems someone else posted a similar crash report and discovered that it had to with compression, transferring the applications via WeTransfer. We've been moving files with Dropbox, so I suppose there's a potential for a similar issue. However, as we all work remotely, it's a little difficult to test...

If posting the patchers is of use, I'm happy to do so, but I feel like we've changed so much in the patch, simplifying it, that I'm not sure the issue is in the patchers.

I'm working on a fairly simple project:  The patch takes 16 channels of mono audio in, 16 ch of MIDI note information in, and creates a velocity for said MIDI notes via the volume of the audio.  Make sense?  The patch itself is fairly simple.

Hi all,
I'm working on a fairly simple project:  The patch takes 16 channels of mono audio in, 16 ch of MIDI note information in, and create

standalones-crashing-for-other-people-but-not-for-me

Which platform are you using to develope the standalone app?

We're all Mac-based: I'm on 10.13.6, another member of the team is on 10.11.6, and the third is on 10.13.4.

Since my initial posting, we have confirmed that a standalone that I create doesn't work on other people's computers, but a standalone that THEY create from the same Max project DOES work on their computers. So it seems, if we want to keep using Dropbox, that we'll all have to compile ourselves to get a working copy.

This seems insane to me... I feel like it can't be based on the compression algorithm in Dropbox, but instead is based on some sort of internal referencing that gets broken moving computer to computer.

Interesting... I'm on 10.0.2, but another team member is on v8 build 181. Would that be related?

have you tried to share the standalone as a pasword protected zip or rar? to make sure the hoster is never able to access the real files. I had problems to send a standalone as email attachement with gmail. even after zip compression the attachement was blocked for security reasons. 

Interesting. I have not, I'll give that a go! Thanks!

Any resolution/solution? Am having an eerily similar problem. Much appreciated!
