"content": "This guide covers the necessary steps to build and run the OpenClaw macOS application from source.\n\nBefore building the app, ensure you have the following installed:\n\n1. **Xcode 26.2+**: Required for Swift development.\n2. **Node.js 22+ & pnpm**: Required for the gateway, CLI, and packaging scripts.\n\n## 1. Install Dependencies\n\nInstall the project-wide dependencies:\n\n## 2. Build and Package the App\n\nTo build the macOS app and package it into `dist/OpenClaw.app`, run:\n\nIf you don't have an Apple Developer ID certificate, the script will automatically use **ad-hoc signing** (`-`).\n\nFor dev run modes, signing flags, and Team ID troubleshooting, see the macOS app README:\n[https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/blob/main/apps/macos/README.md](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/blob/main/apps/macos/README.md)\n\n> **Note**: Ad-hoc signed apps may trigger security prompts. If the app crashes immediately with \"Abort trap 6\", see the [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) section.\n\n## 3. Install the CLI\n\nThe macOS app expects a global `openclaw` CLI install to manage background tasks.\n\n**To install it (recommended):**\n\n1. Open the OpenClaw app.\n2. Go to the **General** settings tab.\n3. Click **\"Install CLI\"**.\n\nAlternatively, install it manually:\n\n### Build Fails: Toolchain or SDK Mismatch\n\nThe macOS app build expects the latest macOS SDK and Swift 6.2 toolchain.\n\n**System dependencies (required):**\n\n* **Latest macOS version available in Software Update** (required by Xcode 26.2 SDKs)\n* **Xcode 26.2** (Swift 6.2 toolchain)\n\nIf versions dont match, update macOS/Xcode and re-run the build.\n\n### App Crashes on Permission Grant\n\nIf 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.\n\n1. Reset the TCC permissions:\n \n2. 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.\n\n### Gateway \"Starting...\" indefinitely\n\nIf the gateway status stays on \"Starting...\", check if a zombie process is holding the port:\n\n```bash theme={null}\nopenclaw gateway status\nopenclaw gateway stop",
