# macOS Developer Setup
This guide covers the necessary steps to build and run the OpenClaw macOS application from source.
## Prerequisites
Before building the app, ensure you have the following installed:
1. **Xcode 26.2+**: Required for Swift development.
2. **Node.js 24 & pnpm**: Recommended for the gateway, CLI, and packaging scripts. Node 22 LTS, currently `22.14+`, remains supported for compatibility.
## 1. Install Dependencies
Install the project-wide dependencies:
```bash
pnpm install
```
## 2. Build and Package the App
To build the macOS app and package it into `dist/OpenClaw.app`, run:
```bash
./scripts/package-mac-app.sh
```
If you don't have an Apple Developer ID certificate, the script will automatically use **ad-hoc signing** (`-`).
For dev run modes, signing flags, and Team ID troubleshooting, see the macOS app README:
[https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/blob/main/apps/macos/README.md](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/blob/main/apps/macos/README.md)
> **Note**: Ad-hoc signed apps may trigger security prompts. If the app crashes immediately with "Abort trap 6", see the [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) section.
## 3. Install the CLI
The macOS app expects a global `openclaw` CLI install to manage background tasks.
**To install it (recommended):**
1. Open the OpenClaw app.
2. Go to the **General** settings tab.
3. Click **"Install CLI"**.
Alternatively, install it manually:
```bash
npm install -g openclaw@<version>
```
`pnpm add -g openclaw@<version>` and `bun add -g openclaw@<version>` also work.
For the Gateway runtime, Node remains the recommended path.
## Troubleshooting
### Build Fails: Toolchain or SDK Mismatch
The macOS app build expects the latest macOS SDK and Swift 6.2 toolchain.
**System dependencies (required):**
- **Latest macOS version available in Software Update** (required by Xcode 26.2 SDKs)
- **Xcode 26.2** (Swift 6.2 toolchain)
**Checks:**
```bash
xcodebuild -version
xcrun swift --version
```
If versions don’t match, update macOS/Xcode and re-run the build.
### App Crashes on Permission Grant
If the app crashes when you try to allow **Speech Recognition** or **Microphone** access, it may be due to a corrupted TCC cache or signature mismatch.
**Fix:**
1. Reset the TCC permissions:
```bash
tccutil reset All ai.openclaw.mac.debug
```
2. If that fails, change the `BUNDLE_ID` temporarily in [`scripts/package-mac-app.sh`](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/blob/main/scripts/package-mac-app.sh) to force a "clean slate" from macOS.
### Gateway "Starting..." indefinitely
If the gateway status stays on "Starting...", check if a zombie process is holding the port:
```bash
openclaw gateway status
openclaw gateway stop
# If you're not using a LaunchAgent (dev mode / manual runs), find the listener:
lsof -nP -iTCP:18789 -sTCP:LISTEN
```
If a manual run is holding the port, stop that process (Ctrl+C). As a last resort, kill the PID you found above.
