won't start on macOS 10.15 beta

[916253]

when using the precompiled macOS binary and running on the beta of macOS 10.15, upon clicking play, this message box appears

this is probably because not everything has been updated to run as a 64 bit process

[MCMrARM]

It wasn't and it won't be updated as a 64-bit process, because it can't be done as MCPE is 32-bit. Did these retards like, completely disable 32-bit support?

[MCMrARM]

Confirmed:

I blame Mojang and Apple, there's nothing I can do about this.

[MCMrARM]

It might be possible to reenable 32-bit support somehow, but as I said there's nothing that can be done other than not upgrading/hacking 32-bit support into the OS. I'd advise against updating to 10.15 and myself I'm stuck on 10.13.

The EDU version is a nice workaround if you happen to have an O365 Education account. I just tried it and it works fine, even on 64-bit only Macs.

Edit: That said, this is a really nice wrapper around an Android emulator right now, so I don't think it could be adapted to that version. Oof.

MCPE will have to go 64-bit next month, Google is mandating it for all Android apps - so at that point it may become fixable.

[Mhowser]

Will they stop producing 32 bit apps? Or just require a 64 bit build?

They require a 64-bit build in addition to the 32-bit builds. You can find more details on the Android Developer website/

[MCMrARM]

Edu is useless as a comparation as it's basically a MCPE fork, separately built, and well, if you have the source code you can build for 32-bit, 64-bit for every platform that your code compiles on.

Any progress on this? Google now mandates apps submit 64 bit builds.

[Mhowser]

Mojang bought themselves an exemption to the 64 bit requirement.

Oh wow. RIP. Any idea for how long?

[Mhowser]

Most likely indefinitely. Such a dumb thing for them to do honestly.

You actually can run 32 bit apps on Catalina with a little trickery and some undocumented Apple stuff. Probably too difficult for a project like this, but if someone has a lot of free time and really wants to work on this...

Please look here (ChristopherHX#28) to get a experimental partially working dmg version.
It is still experimental and might crash, named next generation or just ng

[mtoensing]

But where can we download the compiled dmg file of the beta? @ChristopherHX

[ChristopherHX]

From my build script github releases (multiple versions)
https://github.com/ChristopherHX/osx-packaging-scripts/releases/tag/ng.dmg

Direct links to version 0.0.132 (you will see if an update comes out)
https://github.com/ChristopherHX/osx-packaging-scripts/releases/download/ng.dmg/Minecraft_Bedrock_Launcher_0.0.132_macOS_10.12.0.dmg

[mtoensing]

No luck

[ChristopherHX]

@mtoensing
This release still contains a 32bit launcher for 10.10 - 10.14.
Delete every minecraft version in settings.
logout from google
login again (enables x86_64 downloads)
select 1.14.60.5 (x86_64) in profile editor.
press download / play

[ChristopherHX]

You must tried to run a version named like
1.14.60.5 (x86) incompatible with 10.15
A common problem is the current google login (from previous fail)
My alert is broke a while ago, which should suggest logging in again
