Game Maker Studio: Mac OS X Export Setup

In this video I take you through the steps of setting up your Mac OS X export module.

Have fun learning!

Huzzah! You made it!

Just a side note. For anyone who has capital letters or spaces in their Mac username, it will be a bit different. For example 'Charlie McShane' will be 'charliemcshane' and so on!

When you want to fully compile. You will get the .app export straight to your windows PC. From there, you need to move that .app to your Mac. Alongside this, you may get an error saying that your export is 'damaged' on the export. This isn't the case! Simply go to your system preferences > privacy  and then allow the mac to run any .app from 'anywhere', as it is currently set 'Mac Store apps only'.

Sometimes your app may not run at all. If this is the case. Before export, in GM, go to Global Game Settings in the resource tree/folders are, right at the bottom. You then go to Mac OSX, then the vertical tab that says 'App Store'. From there, uncheck 'Build for Mac Appstore'. Your next export will work! :)

Hope this helps!

Nice! Tried using the Yoyo Games help centre, but couldn't figure it out. This video was really clear, and it worked instantly. Thanks!

I had a lot of trouble even building projects on the Mac version of GM. There were an insane amount of functions and method calls that were missing so I just decided to work with Windows to make things easier and less troublesome.

Hello, will there be a version for GM2? Currently they asked me to export my game to Mac but it tells me that the Mac device has not been found

[Maxjk]

is there any way to make your game avaliable to mac users without owning a mac yourself?

RealTutsGML, Do you know of any pathfinding for Game Maker that isn't laggy?

[misho_dev]

Would this work if you are running mac and windows simultaneously to export to the same computer? (paralells desktop)

[Mrdefuser]

Please someone help: I set up the settings. When I press run it works fine but when I create a  executable. It says Please check file -> Preferences. I don't know why this is happening.

Sorry for stupid question, but can you export mac games using vmware or virtualbox? I'm kind of on a budget and I don't want to loose almost 2, 000 bucks on a computer

[dragonball]
