Yup, Go 1.6.2 is neither supported on High Sierra, or a supported release, https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Go-Release-Cycle#release-maintenance

The developer should upgrade to at least Go 1.8, bit given the pace apple likes to break backwards compat with their own syscall ABI, i’d recommend the latest 1.9 relaese.

Thank you for that. The app that is not working for me was compiled with Go v1.6.2. I’m assuming I have to contact the developer of this program to recompile the binary with a newer version of Go? Can we safely say that Go v1.6.2 is not supported on High Sierra?
