Unable to install TargetBridge Receiver on late 2014 iMac

Hello, I'm unable to install the Receiver 3.0 or 3.0.1 on an iMac 15,1 running macOS 11.7.11.

Let me know if there's anything else I can provide to assist you. Thank you!

Thanks for the detailed report — that helps a lot.

A late 2014 iMac (iMac15,1) on macOS 11.7.11 should be able to run the Receiver, because the current Receiver build has a minimum macOS version of 11.0.

The first thing to check is that you downloaded the Intel Receiver build, not the Apple Silicon one:

• TargetBridge-Receiver-x86_64.app.zip

For reference, the 3.0.1 Receiver assets are here:

• https://github.com/swellweb/targetBridge/releases/tag/v3.0.1

From the screenshots, this looks very much like Gatekeeper / quarantine is still blocking the app after download. Could you try this exact sequence?

1. Move the app to /Applications
2. Open Terminal and run:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/TargetBridge Receiver.app"

3. Then try launching it again.

If it still fails after that, could you please share the output of these two commands?

spctl --assess -vvv "/Applications/TargetBridge Receiver.app"

"/Applications/TargetBridge Receiver.app/Contents/MacOS/TargetBridgeReceiver"

That should tell me whether this is just a quarantine / Gatekeeper issue or something more specific in the packaged x86_64 build.

Thank you again — I’ll look into making this install path smoother as well.

1. Double and triple-checked I'm running the x86 build.
2. Still failed, with the same termination reason DYLD, [0x4] Symbol missing
3. The output for spctl command is: /Applications/TargetBridge Receiver.app: rejected
4. The output for "/Applications/TargetBridge Receiver.app/Contents/MacOS/TargetBridgeReceiver" is:

dyld: Symbol not found: _CVBufferCopyAttachments
  Referenced from: /Applications/TargetBridge Receiver.app/Contents/MacOS/../Frameworks/libavutil.60.26.101.dylib (which was built for Mac OS X 14.0)
  Expected in: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreVideo.framework/Versions/A/CoreVideo

zsh: abort      "/Applications/TargetBridge Receiver.app/Contents/MacOS/TargetBridgeReceiver"
