Getting an error when I try to build the screen saver installer .app for macOS. The error is as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------
Starting Macintosh Build

Module Name : Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Output file: Planes_Trains_and_Automobiles.app

Error: Error saving Icon file. Err=104 IOException
The build failed due to an error
The application, is white listed in Crowdstrike, runs perfectly fine on a Windows 11 system, but when we try to build in macOS we get this error.
I tried looking for the temp folder its supposed to create, but I dont think it gets to that part, as it errors out right away. Any advice we can get on this to get it to work will be appreciated.
Sorry you are having trouble. The 104 error almost always means something is preventing iScreensaver Designer from writing to the disk. In our experience, this is usually caused by anti-virus software. Another cause may be file synchronization utilities. Please read IO Exception Error when building Mac Screensaver for more details.
In this case, since you say you’ve already allow-listed Designer using Crowdstrike, I wonder if something else is going on?
Could you do another test for us? Before doing the build:
from the Windows menu choose Debug Log
In the debug log window, choose “Show: All”
Try the build again, and when it fails, please copy the last 10 or so lines in the log window before the failure.
