MacOS setup guide

Sudo is not necessary anywhere! 
 Compatibility information 
 Only Apple Silicon is supported. 
 This build is intended for Apple Silicon Macs only, for example M1, M2, M3, M4 and newer. 
 Intel Macs are not supported. 
 
 Start VRSX on macOS 
 
 
 Download the osx-arm64.zip package from releases. 
 
 
 macOS may automatically unzip the file after download. 
 If it does, move the extracted osx-arm64 directory anywhere you want. 
 If it does not, unzip it manually first. 
 
 
 Open the osx-arm64 directory in Finder and make sure you can see: 
 VRSX.App
 
 
 
 Open Terminal in the osx-arm64 directory. 
 The easiest way: 
 
 open the osx-arm64 folder in Finder 
 right-click inside the folder 
 choose “New Terminal at Folder” 
 
 If you do not see that option, open Terminal manually and use cd to enter the osx-arm64 directory. 
 
 
 Remove the macOS quarantine flag from the app: 
 xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine ./VRSX.App
 
 This does not disable Gatekeeper globally. It only tells macOS to stop treating this specific app as a suspicious creature freshly dragged in from the internet swamp. 
 
 
 Open VRSX. 
 Using Finder: 
 Double-click VRSX.App
 
 Or using Terminal: 
 open ./VRSX.App
 
 
 
 Known issue: VRSX may not show an icon in the Dock or menu bar. 
 I love Apple, including the edible ones, but not this particular behavior. 
 For now, VRSX behaves mostly like a background daemon. To stop it, run: 
 killall VRSX
 
 
 
 Open VRSX in your browser: 
 http://127.0.0.1:8085
 
 You can also use the IP address of your Mac from another device on the same network: 
 http://IP.OF.YOUR.MAC:8085
 
 
 
 Activate VRSX using the license key available under the “My Account” section in ADS-B.Pro RadarView. 
 
 
 Enjoy! 
 
 
 
 Autostart on macOS 
 macOS uses launchd , which is Apple’s own background service creature. It is powerful, weirdly shaped and not documented here yet. 
 For now, the simplest way to start VRSX automatically is to add it to Login Items. 
 
 
 Open: 
 System Settings
 
 
 
 Go to: 
 General -> Login Items
 
 
 
 Add: 
 VRSX.App
 
 
 
 This is not a full daemon service, but it should be enough for most desktop users. 
 NOTE: Proper launchd support may be added later. For now, Login Items is the recommended macOS autostart method.
