# macOS developer setup
|
|
|
|
Build and run the OpenClaw macOS application from source.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- **Xcode 26.2+** (Swift 6.2 toolchain), on the latest macOS available in
|
|
Software Update.
|
|
- **Node.js 24 & pnpm** for the gateway, CLI, and packaging scripts. Node
|
|
22.19+ also works.
|
|
|
|
## 1. Install dependencies
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pnpm install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 2. Build and package the app
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./scripts/package-mac-app.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Outputs `dist/OpenClaw.app`. Without an Apple Developer ID certificate, the
|
|
script falls back to ad-hoc signing.
|
|
|
|
For dev run modes, signing flags, and Team ID troubleshooting, see
|
|
[apps/macos/README.md](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/blob/main/apps/macos/README.md).
|
|
Fast dev loop from repo root: `scripts/restart-mac.sh` (add `--no-sign` for
|
|
ad-hoc signing; TCC permissions do not stick with `--no-sign`).
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
Ad-hoc signed apps may trigger security prompts. If the app crashes
|
|
immediately with "Abort trap 6", see [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting).
|
|
</Note>
|
|
|
|
## 3. Install the CLI and Gateway
|
|
|
|
The packaged app embeds the canonical `scripts/install-cli.sh` installer. On a
|
|
fresh profile, choose **This Mac** during onboarding; the app installs the
|
|
matching user-space CLI and runtime before starting the Gateway wizard.
|
|
|
|
For manual development recovery, install the matching CLI yourself:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install -g openclaw@<version>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`pnpm add -g openclaw@<version>` and `bun add -g openclaw@<version>` also
|
|
work. Node remains the recommended runtime for the Gateway itself.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### Build fails: toolchain or SDK mismatch
|
|
|
|
The macOS app build expects the latest macOS SDK and the Swift 6.2 toolchain
|
|
(Xcode 26.2+).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
xcodebuild -version
|
|
xcrun swift --version
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If versions don't match, update macOS/Xcode and re-run the build.
|
|
|
|
### App crashes on permission grant
|
|
|
|
If the app crashes when you try to allow **Speech Recognition** or
|
|
**Microphone** access, it may be a corrupted TCC cache or signature mismatch.
|
|
|
|
1. Reset TCC permissions for the debug bundle id:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
tccutil reset All ai.openclaw.mac.debug
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. If that fails, temporarily change `BUNDLE_ID` in
|
|
[`scripts/package-mac-app.sh`](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/blob/main/scripts/package-mac-app.sh)
|
|
to force a clean slate from macOS.
|
|
|
|
### Gateway "Starting..." indefinitely
|
|
|
|
Check whether a zombie process holds the port:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw gateway status
|
|
openclaw gateway stop
|
|
|
|
# If you're not using a LaunchAgent (dev mode / manual runs), find the listener:
|
|
lsof -nP -iTCP:18789 -sTCP:LISTEN
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If a manual run holds the port, stop it (Ctrl+C), or kill the PID found above
|
|
as a last resort.
