I would like to build a standalone application (.exe) with the message to Max on Windows (10). So I found in the documentation the message "; max buildcollective".

In the following example I can build it but it open a box to choose the path and the format (xmf or exe) :

If I want to directly create the application I have to mention the path and the format in the message to Max :

; max buildcollective thefile mypath/thefile.exe

It creates the exe file correctly with the usual traces on Max Console : "Starting Build for thefile.exe...", "Copying..." .... and "Finished script."

The problem is that the resource folder and the mxf are not next to the exe file, they are somewhere but I didn't found them.

So does anyone tried this before? It seems to be an old issue:

The Beap Midi Out doesn't allow to select the channel. Anyone had the same problem? Thanks

beap-midi-out-channel

beap is as most of premade stuff only making troubles.
Can't you simply create midiout, noteout or whatever you need and use it ?
This is the inner life of that beap midiout

menu object that should set midi channel is cleared, has no items
so no way to select midi channel.
Is this done on purpose to force beginners to learn using Max objects instead of that premade stuff ?


Hi Robert, yup this looks like a bug. While waiting for the fix to be released, you could just use the following:

Hi Isabel and Source Audio! Thank you for your answers. I've been learning this system just a few days, I wanted to try a simple example to sequence hardware via midi. I'm going to do what you've told me and I'll do it entirely in Max.
Thank you!

I have a Mac standalone made with Max 8.2.0 which uses an audio input (actually from loopback) and an external USB camera (to trigger things).

It's working fine. But as it needs to run for a long time (months) in an installation, I would like to launch it automatically when the computer starts up (as a Login item). This works, but during the startup process, dialog boxes appear asking for permission for "... MSP to capture audio from the microphone." and to "Allow Jitter to capture video". Which need to be clicked on.

I thought that the computer (mac mini running 10.13.4) would learn that it's ok for the app to do this (it appears in and stays in the relevant lists in the Security control panel). but these dialogs appear EVERY TIME.

Launching the standalone app on my laptop (OS 12.1) displays the same behaviour, so I don't think it's just an OS thing.

I've done this kind of thing before and can't remember ever having this problem.

Interested in resolving this permissions issue also. 

Actually I'm talking to support about it now. 

Going back to Max 8.1.11 and making the standalone with that version solves the problem, - i only have to give permission once, then the computer remembers the permissions. so it seems to be a bug in the newer version(s). I'll post here again when I have more news about it! J



if I recall correctly you can bypass this with an apple developer ID.
Once you have one, you should codesign* the app with a script. 

Check this thread:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13204407/how-to-codesign-an-existing-mac-os-x-app-file-for-gatekeeper 

Thanks for the link! I'll check it out. It all seems to work anyway by using Max 8.1.11. And hopefully the bug will be fixed in a future version of Max.

Same here. I'm forced to export my App (https://irin.carloscaires.com/ ) using max 8.1.11. Did anyone reported this issue in the bug report form?

Anybody have any news on this?   I can't even find where to download Max 8.1.11 anymore! Seems the oldest avail on the website is 8.2 something...

Max 8.1.11. is surelly still available for download,  but link is not shown
is this for your own needs?
in which case you could get rid of stupid apple
security restrictions.
if you think solution is to use 8.1.11
I could  digg  download link from  archives

Hi all,
Same thing with my standalone... but i can't use the 8.1.11 because of some objects that have since been updated (ex : mc.resize).
I hope C74 solves this problem in the next release...

You simply need to codesign the standalone app bundle. 
From a terminal:

Thank you for your reply.
I did that, but unfortunately it doesn't work. I get the following error message in the terminal :
" resource fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed "


I'm having the same issue now -- realizing that I need the functionality of some updates since 8.1.1.   

I thought that you needed to register an Apple developer ID in order to co-design the app?

you don't need a developer ID when you sign anonymously, which is what passing "-" to the "-s" flag does

And all is right now, without Apple developer ID.

@Rob Ramirez - interesting, I didn't know this-
"you don't need a developer ID when you sign anonymously, which is what passing "-" to the "-s" flag does"

Amazing!  Going to give it a shot... thanks everyone!

I have an issue, which might be related (or not, I don't know).

I tried to use mxj_autobot and/or 11clicks externals. Everything works as expected until I export my patch as stand-alone application on Mac. In the exported stand-alone the mouse movement doesn't work anymore. My expectation is, I have to enable the application in the System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility on macOS. But even if I do so, the mouse doesn't move.

Max is also enabled in the Accessibility and both the externals work within Max.

Do you have any idea, please? Do I have to setup something specific in the [standalone] object or on the export, so the system recognizes the new application correctly? Or any other idea, please?

I tried to use the Terminal tricks, you recommended, but it didn't help.

Is Cycling on top of this issue? I used the suggestions made above, xattr and codesign, I get no error or other warnings when I use these commands in the terminal, but the issues still persist. In my case it is the microphone that I have to allow to be used over and over again even when I switch to other tabs in the same application and back. It is particularly frustrating since I have an automatic kill switch for audio in other tabs (users often forgot about audio in other tabs) but this bug makes it almost impossible to use it.

Thanks for this.
Does the Standalone need to be in a specific location?  

I'm trying to open a Standalone I made - doesn't use Audio at all - just midi.
Worked fine with Mojave, but now I'm trying in Ventura on a different machine,  but getting the error - The application “MyStandalone” can’t be opened.  

I'm trying the above Terminal commands, however both are saying "no such file".  Triple checked the name I'm using and tried removing ".app"  tried while bundle was in Applications folder and when in Downloads folder.

I made it using - Max 8.0.6 (build c36dce5) apparently - as I found this in the info.plist file.

Standalone Mac permissions launch problem

Does anyone experience the same issues since Max 9.0.5: 

1)  I can't always edit a [poly~] patcher. When clicking on Modify Read-Only button in the bottom left corner doesn't work. Also selecting it from the menu doesn't help. When I open the same patcher in Max 8, I don't have this kind of problem. UPDATE: This issue does not pertain to only poly~ patcher, but to any subpatcher.

2) For one active voice, [thispoly~] returns instance index varying between 1-4 - pretty weird. Again, when open in Max8 it just returns 1. When opening all voices one by one, thispoly~ shows them all in a muted state.

3) I also noticed, but that's hard to evidence, more frequent freezes upon save (beachball all day long!) with the same patch. I know, the patch is like 1.5MB, not small and light, but again, in Max8 I think it was much more stable.

I also tried reinstalling yesterday to no avail.
