Troubleshooting

Launching and security

Since these are not created as fully published MacOS applications, there could be issues with launching and compatibility dependant on the MacOS version running.

If the Cloudlare WARP Launcher does not launch or the following message is displayed -

"Cloudflare WARP Launcher" is damaged and can't be open. You should move it to the Trash.

Open Automator on MacOS.
Open Cloudflare WARP Launcher.app in Automator and Run.
Save and exit Automator
Repeat this process for Cloudflare WARP Open.app and Cloudflare WARP Close.app

Attempt to open Cloudflare WARP Launcher.app and MacOS will display the following security warning -

Click OK
Goto Settings > Privacy and Security and scroll down to Security

Click Open Anyway
Repeat this process for Cloudflare WARP Open.app and Cloudflare WARP Close.app

Application icons

Since these are not created as fully published MacOS applications, application icons do not seem to carry across.

Open cloudflarewarplauncher-icon in `Preview
Ctrl-A + Ctrl-C to copy the image
Get Info on Cloudflare WARP Launcher.app
Click the icon in the top left and Ctrl-V to paste the copied image. This updates the Cloudflware WARP Launch.app applicationto show the icon.

Latest version check

If the Cloudflare WARP Launcher is opened in Automator and Run - the url for the latest version check seems to become invalid. If this occurs - remove the existing url -

set latestCloudflareWarpVersion to (do shell script "url")

Replace url with -

curl -Ssk https://api.appcenter.ms/v0.1/public/sparkle/apps/87d9992a-351c-44a9-849b-3f9a89d63d18 | tr '<|/' '\n' | grep ^title | awk '/Version/ {print $2, $NF}' | awk 'NR==1{print $1}'
