Looks like a code-signing issue. Perhaps the binary needs to be re-built with signing? I don't mind taking a look at the code as I'm a developer.

Did a little digging and seems this is one way to fix it, by signing the app yourself:

Open a terminal and perform the following:

xcode-select --install
codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/CHIRP.app

The first installs the Xcode command line tools needed, the second will sign the application and allow you to run it on your local machine.

I attempted this approach, and it didn't work for me. :-(

Signing the application using the Terminal commands above solved the issue for me on my M1.

I also tried the steps above without resolution:
First command "xcode-select --install"
Gave this message:

xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates

Trying the second command: "codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/CHIRP.app" gave the following error:

xcrun: error: unable to load libxcrun (dlopen(/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/lib/libxcrun.dylib, 0x0005): could not use '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/lib/libxcrun.dylib' because it is not a compatible arch).

Everything works fine with this solution.
Thanks a lot man !!

One question, I can just remove Xcode command line tools by deleting Library/Developer/CommandLineTools folder ?
Every Gb counts in a 256Gb SSD... ^{_^}

Everything works fine with this solution on my M1 MacBook Air.

Thanks to Sebastien above, I re-read my error message when trying to sign app package, and realized that my Command Line Dev tools were likely migrated from my old Intel machine. So I deleted the /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools folder, and then re-tried the above mentioned work around:
@xcode-select --install
codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/CHIRP.app@

And it all worked well. Chirp now launches again for me. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I have been struggling to get chirp running following the terminal commands as suggested by Erik Rogers on my Mac Mini M1. After sometime of dabbling around I would like to share that you must make sure you have the installer package in "applications" and not on your desktop to make the terminal code work. The code looks for the program in Applications and with me having the installer folder on my desktop, it could not be located.

❯ cd /Applications
❯ codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/CHIRP.app

/Applications/CHIRP.app: resource fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed

This work-around no longer appears to work.

Should add, MacOS 11.4 on Macbook Air M1.

I got it working on MacOS 11.4 on my Macbook Air M1. Here's what I did:

• Copy CHIRP.app to ~/Applications
• Run the following from Terminal:

  xattr -c ~/Applications/CHIRP.app
  xattr -c ~/Applications/CHIRP.app/Contents
  codesign --force --deep --sign - ~/Applications/CHIRP.app
  

Still working on 11.5.2, with running those commands from a terminal.

Still not working for me, after following every instruction above. I am on 12.1 Monterey, so I know I'm bleeding edge. But this was still the case on earlier OS versions. Macbook Air M1.

The instructions I gave still work for me, on a MBA M1, running 12.1 as well. Can you please provide some diagnostic information as to what is wrong?

Thanks for the response. I should know this, but can you tell me how to sow the diagnostic information? Forgive me if this is readily available information.

I'm sorry, I should also probably state that for whatever reason, I cannot find the debug log where it the instructions state it should be hiding. What I get...

In fact, I can't even find the ~/.chirp directory at all. Confused....Thanks again for any help you can provide.

Ok, sorry for all the noise from me here. I ran chirp.app while holding the key. It actually launched indicating I was in debug mode. Then the log file was created. All the registered radios listed, then this displayed at the end of the file:

So it looks like I'm getting somewhere. I just don't know what this all means.

Oddly, when loaded in "Error Reporting Mode, I was able to connect and download my config from my Baofeng UV-5R. But it simply won't run without being in Error Reporting mode.

Ok, my instructions earlier assume you're copying it to the Applications directory in your user directory (~/Applications). If you are copying it to the system Applications directory then use the following:

@xattr -c /Applications/CHIRP.app
xattr -c /Applications/CHIRP.app/Contents
codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/CHIRP.app@

I generally try to avoid modifying things in /Applications directly.

You will need to run these commands any time you update the application.

The instructions posted by Scott Lopez (#26) work perfectly on M1. This info should be added to the macOS FAQ page if it's not able to be resolved in future releases.

#26 did it!!!

I have been trying for a year to get this working!

Just ran every line 1 at a time, and downloaded the python package before, not sure if it also helped, but did both and now it is working. here-https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/MacOS_Tips

Thank you Scott!
