Unable to launch app

[Fireguy371]

Hello, I am unable to launch the app even after right clicking on it, holding option, then selecting open. It still only prompts me to delete it, it will not open on my Mac, my Mac is on OS 26 Tahoe

Hi! Sorry for the late reply. I've not upgraded to Tahoe yet. What happens if you go to your operating system security settings right after you tried to launch the app?

 → System Settings → Privacy & Security

and on that settings page, scroll all the way down to the "Security" section. If you're lucky you'll see LinkLiar (in that list somewhere between Apple Intelligence and FileVault)

Just out of curiosity, are you using this release? https://github.com/halo/LinkLiar/releases/tag/4.0.0.delta

I retried with that one, and did get past that pop up, but now it just doesn't open, like I try to open it and nothing happens

Either LinkLiar is starting properly and you just don't see it (it's an icon in the top menu bar, close to where your wifi and battery icons are), or the app is crashing on start.

You can start the Terminal app on your computer and create a log file with this command:

touch /tmp/linkliar.log

and then, also in Terminal, open the contents of that log file. The following command will start the Console app and show you the contents, even "live" as they change.

open /tmp/linkliar.log

Start the LinkLiar app and, now that it detects the presence of that log file, it should write information to it and you should see it in the Console app.

Do you see anything happening in the log?
