Can't run MacOS app

[zeromotion461]

I try to run the app, but a box pops up saying "app Error" with the choices to either Open Console or Terminate. I'm not sure how to fix this issue.

I'll definitely need more information to work on than this. Try cloning this repository and running the app through the command line. Please update me on anything different that occurs.
May I ask what computer model you have? It works for me on both x86_64 and arm64.

It's a 2018 MacBook Pro with 6-core Intel Core i7

The Mac version of the app is also not working for me – any attempt to open the app results in the app crashing. I tried cloning the repository and running cli.py from Terminal and get this error:
Error, failed after 500 attempts
'[Errno 61] Connection refused'

I'm using an Intel MacBook as well

EDIT: Welp, apparently I just needed to have Discord open for the app to run. Whoops!

The error you're receiving is related to the client not connecting to Discord. Is Discord open on your computer?

Whoops – my bad. Working for me on macOS!

I cloned the repository and it didn't work.

Update: So I managed to get it running on Discord! But whenever I switch games, Discord won't update what game I'm playing and I have to delete NSO-RPC file, redownload it, and add "app" to Activity Status again

I believe this issue is no longer MacOS exclusive, so we'll have to migrate to issue #3.

Wasn't sure if this warranted a new issue, but after updating the application to the newest version, the app now gives me a splash screen with an app error. The old version of the app still works fine when I boot it up, but this new version crashes on launch after I enter my login info. I’ve tried reinstalling the app and deleting the NSO-RPC folder in Documents but neither method seemed to work. Here's the error when I run the unix executable app by expanding the contents:

@drewv1234 Try deleting the NSO-RPC/ folder in your ~/Documents/ folder. You will unfortunately have to log back in after this, however. I think this is an error because of a change in formats of data storage between v1.1 and v1.2.
Please update me on if this works, thanks!

[drewv1234]

Didn't seem to work on my end. Tried deleting the app and the NSO-RPC folder and it gave me the same error almost every time I ran it. However, one time it gave me the same error shown in #11 , so it might be related to that.

@drewv1234 It looks like the flapg API is down at the moment (which matches your error, although #11 looks like a s2s API issue), you’ll just have to try again later.

@MCMi460 If you can login (or MITM the app) are you actually getting your own presence back properly? I haven’t today and think Nintendo may have changed their API. samuelthomas2774/nxapi#1

Thank you for bringing this to my attention- I'm moving this issue to #13 for now, but I imagine I can't do very much to fix this on my own as I'm not a master of reverse engineering.
I will mitmproxy as soon as I get a moment to be able to. Thank you again.
