Getting error: "The application cannot be opened because its executable is missing." when trying to open the app.

[jilldenae]

After building my app, the Windows version works fine, but when I try to open the osx version (using open appName.app in terminal), I get "The application cannot be opened because its executable is missing."

I've looked at the Info.plist file, and it lists node-webkit as the executable. I found that file in appName.app/Contents/MacOS. Tried changing Info.plist to specify that path, but that didn't help.

Any ideas? Thank you very much for your help.

Built via terminal on Mac, using "sudo nwbuild -p osx app.nw" (my app is in the app.nw directory).

@steffenmllr any idea?

Could you try again with 1.0.0? Also, I could be wrong but I'm not sure if we support passing a directory, try app.nw/**

Any resolution on this? I'm having this same issue.

My build file looks like this.

    name: 'myApp',
    appName: 'myApp',
    version: '0.12.2',
    platforms: ['osx'],
    files: ['package.json','dist/favicon_16x16.png','dist/nwjs/node-main.js','dist/nwjs/build.json'],
    winIco: 'dist/favicon.ico',
    macIcns: 'dist/favicon.icns',
    buildType: function() {
        return this.appVersion;
    }

EDIT: Don't know why but i cleared my install of nwjs and set it back up again and now its fixed.
EDIT2: Got it. If i specify platforms: 'win', and 'osx' it will fail. If i just specify 'osx' it'll work. Probably because i squawks at me about not having wine installed.
