Ask a Question / "no mountable file system" on Mac when trying to install via DMG

« on: April 19, 2019, 10:32:25 am »

A small but noticeable number of Mac users are unable to open our DMG installer for Mac. The Mac presents a "no mountable file system" error when the user attempts to open the DMG for installation.

Each time we try to follow up (these reports come via e-mail), we don't hear back but would like to get to the bottom of this. We aren't able to reproduce the problem on our end.

1) If you are encountering this issue, please follow step (3) on this page, let us know what you see in Terminal, so we can have a closer look at this.

2) Let us know what version of OS X you're on.

Thanks!

News / 3.4.0 (Beta 5) - October 6, 2016

« on: October 05, 2016, 11:21:30 pm »

We've put out a new release that fixes a lot of bugs and makes us compatible with Apple's latest and greatest. Props to @Justin and @MaxFinch for getting us up to speed with the latest iOS / Xcode.

One major change to distribution is a switch back to a DMG for Macs. With Sierra, Apple has clamped down further on app security. Double-click the DMG to open it, and drag Stencyl to the desired place to install.

See this page for the list of changes.


Potential breaking changes and things to keep in mind for this update:

- Team ID setting added to iOS certificates page. This is needed for Xcode 8.
See the updated step 8 of the iOS certificates guide.

- The way lists and maps are initialized has been changed.
If a list or a map has no default value, and it's a hidden attribute, it will always start out as "null". This means you must set the list or map to a new list/map before trying to add values to it or access it in any way, otherwise you will get an error or crash. See the stencylpedia guides on lists and maps.

- The behavior attribute blocks now work with the attributes events.

Build 9170 - May 11, 2016

This release further improves upon the prior one, which we kept around for a while because it worked well for many.  Alas, a lot of improvements have been made in the past few months, so we wanted the public to enjoy these changes. Unless something's gone awry, this will be the final "beta" release before 3.4.0 is finalized.
