Hi Rikur, I've downloaded the version for High Sierra and dragged it to the Applications folder. However: it won't run: it tries to start up and then simply stops and nothing happens. I've changed security settings to allow the app to run. What am I doing wrong, what should I do? Thanks for feedback and help. Best regards, Frank

+xI have the same problem running 10.13.6 and get the following. Have followed instructions very carefully:
"ERROR! cannot write to Info.plist, there are permission problems, or you are on a read-only volume.
This cannot run from within a read-only dmg file." This error implies that the folder that Skydemon is running within (i.e. the Skydemon folder within the applications folder) is read-only. Check the properties of the folder (and sub-folders) .... also, you could try moving it outside the Applications folder, as this can sometimes cause issues with permissions.

+x+x+xDear rikur,
Thanks very much for your initiative.
I downloaded the zip-file, decompressed, dragged it into Applications folder, opened it as described (did away with a pop-up) and then I saw the SkyDemon for Mac name next to the Apple-logo.
This takes about 5 seconds (in the mean time the screen stays unchanged) then my MacBook Air returns to Finder!
Since I didn't see this problem in the forum I thought I'd give it a try by writing you.
I hope I do make some known error during this routine.
Can you please assits me?
Which version of MacOS are you using? 10.13.6
Any can I check which download of Skydemon are you using .... the version known to work with High Sierra is this version:
Make sure you follow the instructions in the first post in this thread.

+x+x+xTried the newly compiled version under High Sierra and it still keeps crashing. Tried to install the new version over the old one which was working, and before and even after deleting the application support files I am unable to install. The installation stops with : "ERROR! cannot write to Info.plist, there are permission problems, or you are on a read-only volume.
This cannot run from within a read-only dmg file."
Cant find the related info.plist
Sounds like you might have unzipped it into a read-only folder, or haven't given it permissions to write to its own directory .... did you do the following: Important: The first time you run it, you will need to locate it in the Applications folder from Finder and press the Control key, then click the app icon, then choose Open from the shortcut menu (this is because it is 'untrusted' - see: https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18657?locale=en_US ). You may also have to click “Allow” to a pop-up about accepting inbound connections.
