mas: 🐛 [BUG] Cannot run mas on ARM-based CPU

Your Environment

mas version: 1.7.1
macOS version (system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType -detailLevel mini): 11.0.1

mas Install Method

brew install mas (homebrew-core)
[] mas-cli/tap
[] .pkg installer from releases
[] Built from source
- Fork/branch: ? (e.g. mas-cli/master)
- Xcode version: 10.?

Describe the Bug

I’ve installed mas on an M1. Whenever I try to use mas in any way, it exits with a SIGKILL. I’ve tried using mas under fish, bash, and zsh (both macOS-provided and through Homebrew).

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Install mas on Apple Silicon
Run mas at a command prompt
See error

Expected Behavior

mas works

Actual Behavior

mas is killed by SIGKILL

Screenshots, Terminal Output

$ file (which mas)
/opt/homebrew/bin/mas: Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64
$ mas
fish: “mas” terminated by signal SIGKILL (Forced quit)
$ mas list
fish: “mas list” terminated by signal SIGKILL (Forced quit)
$ mas version
fish: “mas version” terminated by signal SIGKILL (Forced quit)

Additional Context

If I install mas under Rosetta 2, it works as expected. The problem is specific to native M1.

I can also confirm this behavior.

brew install mas works great.

But then…

mas list
[1]    6261 killed     mas list

I suspect this is due to script/install altering the executable’s rpath after code signing.

Confirmed for me as well

OK I have found I also needed to remove all references to VALID_ARCH, the corresponding pull request is here: https://github.com/mas-cli/mas/pull/314

I tried your solution, @chris-araman, and it is not enough, here is what I then get;

❌  error: The linked and embedded framework 'Commandant.framework' is missing one or more architectures required by this target: arm64. (in target 'MasKit' from project 'mas-cli')


** ARCHIVE FAILED **

It seems we will also need to wait for Commandant.framework to release an arm64 version…

fabriceb on Jan 18, 2021

This is maybe due to codesign rules for ARM64. All need to be at least adhoc signed.
