CHIRP

I do experience the same behavior but with a recent version of macOS.

OS: macOS big Sur 11.11
Chirp: Installed using Homebrew (loaded from https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/chirp-unified-daily-20210110.app.zip).

Process log does not look helpful to me but I have added it below anyway.

Running chirp from the console gives me the following:

Having exact same problem. There are many recommendations to change security setting to allow apps to run from unidentified developers - this does not work

I don't know if this has anything to do with but even after downloading the daily mac zip file it, terminal says that python is can't be located

Chirp guys, please take a look at the current MaxOSX suite for download.
(Running 10.12 here)

First guess is that this is not an issue with Chirp. Can you try this please: look for settings on the app (and maybe the terminal) to set locale variables and uncheck them and then run Chirp. Let us know the result.

How do I do this? I'm not a computer pro

• there is no settings on the app as I can't get it to run whatsoever. Do you mean right click on the icon? If so there is no Settings
• If you're recommending to set locale variables, where Do i do this?

Thanks for the help

If anyone can translate what this means for me

First I download the package. Not much of an extraction to do. The Chirp icon just appears
Click the Icon, starts to open, but app icon just bounces a few times then goes away

If right click and "Show Package Contents", inside I see a few files and folders.
Inside "Contents" folder
I go Contents/MacOS/chirp <-- this last one opens Terminal, where it starts to do this something then i get this:
