Verify a macOS build ​

Verify a macOS executable on the Mac that will run it. Record whether the machine is Apple silicon or Intel and whether the process runs directly or through a compatibility environment. Keep those results separate when comparing distributions.

Follow installation for the current installation procedure. Place the resulting executable and the supplied configuration files in a dedicated directory rather than running against an application database.

Check the local environment ​

sh
uname -m
sw_vers -productVersion
./coordinator serve --config-file config.xml --db data.db

Then use another terminal in that directory:

sh
./coordinator client --database data --query "SELECT 'macOS' AS platform FORMAT csv"

Expect a single CSV value, "macOS". Confirm that the server can create the selected database and write its configured logs under the same account used for the check.

Check paths explicitly ​

Use a path containing spaces when an application or packaging change affects file selection. Quote that path in the shell and verify the configured database independently of the configuration directory. See configuration files and the native client for path and connection options.
