Mac Install Failure

See original GitHub issue

I think I found a bug. Forgive me if it’s already been posted. I just downloaded daedalus-4.0.5-mainnet-17596.pkg directly from the website. I am running macOS 10.15.7. Here is the /var/log/install.log from the install.

That won’t make a difference… @input-output-hk/daedalus-qa do we have OSX 10.15.7 on which we could test the installation? I would like you to try to reproduce this issue 🙏

I believe it is OK. I will close this issue as Daedalus does in fact install and you are able to run it. We haven’t been able to reproduce the issue and it seems it has no impact. Thanks!
