Welcome to the Tweaking4All community forums!
When participating, please keep the Forum Rules in mind!
Topics for particular software or systems: Start your topic link with the name of the application or system.
For example “MacOS X – Your question“, or “MS Word – Your Tip or Trick“.
Please note that switching to another language when reading a post will not bring you to the same post, in Dutch, as there is no translation for that post!
I've modified the beta a little bit (desperate attempt: it tries to install the helper, if that fails it waits 1 second and then tries again).
Would you mind testing this version (2.3.2 beta)?
It has been signed and notarized.
Temporary link (will be removed in the future).
Log Window
Problem is that the window never opens and closes instantly. If you want, I can record the behaviour if that's any easier.

Never heard of Lingon X before, so no, don't have that!
I am the sole user/admin. I don't have any antivirus installed, but have LuLu installed/enabled as well as Cisco VPN.
I fully reinstalled macOS 26.3.1, just in case it was corrupted during the update. Didn't change a thing!
Forgot to mention that I tried 2.3.2, but same behaviour, asks for the helper to be installed, enter password twice, then error and open-close the app instantly.
Log Window
Ah, I totally forgot about that. Apologies.
Log
I see a few positive messages:
authd Succeeded authorizing right 'com.apple.ServiceManagement.blesshelper' by client '/usr/libexec/smd' [108] for authorization created by '/Applications/ApplePiBaker.app'
Just not sure if these messages are related (and if so: it could point to a timing issue):
invalidated because the client process (pid xyz) either cancelled the connection or exited
More options
I figured as much - this would be default for most users anyway.
Beta version
Bummer ... 😞 Thanks for testing though!
I'll try and see if I can find a better place/way to wait for the helper to be installed.
Almost feels like macOS doesn't complete the installing of the helper in time.
That went quicker than expected 😊
Please try this version: link. (I've added a build number and removed the previous test version)
I removed the previous retry delay, and extended the send/receiving of messages for 0.1 seconds to 2 seconds.
Let's see if that helps 😊
Gave it a try but still not working :(
Ah crap 😞
- Did you remove all the previous APB (with all extra files) and reboot before installing the test version (just to make sure there are no interfering leftovers)?
- Just though of this: Are you running ApplePi-Baker from your /Applications directory? If not, then this could explain something as well.
After some more digging (guessing) I see APB is not the only application encountering this issue. 😞
Migrating to SMAppService is a future plan, but it will come with quite some work and in that case I might as well make an ARM binary (or universal binary) as well.
Although a universal binary may be challenging due to the compression library that I'm using.
I always removed the previous APB and rebooted, also used AppCleaner to help find the little remnant files here and there. APB is in ~/Applications.
That was gonna be my next question: will you make an ARM binary, since Rosetta is phasing out in 2027?
Yes, I am planning building an ARM version, I just need to find the time and courage to get started 😉
It will be a very time consuming project, in which I'll also want to try to use SMAppService to see if this works more reliable.
Been thinking about it for a bit now and am considering starting from scratch. Again: lot of work, so I need ot find some courage 😊
Yeah that's going to require some time and effort. If you need some help, let me know!
To be fair, your app is the only one on the market to do both backup and restore quite reliably. The other ones can only restore but don't offer any backup tool, which defeats the point of restoring. Works fine, up until macOS decides to wreck everything.
That is super nice of you to say - thank you 😊
As with moth of my tools: I build them at some point for my own purposes and then at some point things go a little overboard even when I no longer use the tool myself 😜
This one has been a nice study on working with Helper tools (really NOT liking helper tools at all - well, at least not the way Apple implemented this, maybe SMAppService will be better).
Are you utilizing the compression (zip, tgz etc) and shrink/expand options often?
Just being curious as those come with the most work.
If only I could do this as a fulltime job 😉
Always backup with compression on, tried once without it and I choked on how big the archive was haha
Expand yes, when restoring an archive, shrink, only on some occasions, but it came really handy on these few occasions!
That's not really helpful, all your features are rather unique and helpful to me (and many other people out there!), but I understand these are intensive to work on. I would say compression is the most important one, and then expanding and shrinking.
You could ask the community (GitHub, GitLab, etc.) to contribute to rewriting the app, a subscription plan or a one-time purchase to support the development of the app. Just putting it out there, though I don't think this is of much help ^^
