Same here

This helped me.

I've downloaded the project and compiled myself, but still, on M1 I'm having problems:

• QLColorCode has no permission to read preferences. Check error on console app: "accessing preferences outside an application's container requires user-preference-read or file-read-data sandbox access"

• colorize.sh seems not able to exec subprocess in go4it func, they get killed with a permission denied (enabling setStandardError on runtask shows script errors on preview window)

As a result, an empty white preview window is shown.

I've tried adding a new target that would be sandboxed with permissions, but I miss macOS development and quicklook plugin knowledge to be able to add the cli app into the bundle package and get it executed (maybe if I retake this in the future I can use this post as help https://blog.timac.org/2021/0516-mac-app-store-embedding-a-command-line-tool-using-paths-as-arguments/)

[serge-ivamov]

No problems on m1 for me. Just compiled latest lua/highlight and $ xcodebuild

$ file QLColorCode
QLColorCode: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64] [arm64:Mach-O 64-bit bundle arm64]

@serge-ivamov is it compiling? is it working properly? or both?

[serge-ivamov]

both.

I found the reason for the blank screen.
This is the absence of a dark theme file 'darkplus.theme'.
So u can just

$ cd ~/Library/QuickLook/QLColorCode.qlgenerator/Contents/Resources/themes
$ ln -s darkness.theme darkplus.theme

or edit Common.m for it.

P.S. lol, looks like I got highlight from old location (https://github.com/andre-simon/highlight)
The gitlab version has darkplus.theme.

P.P.S. Found another problem for m1 - bad signing. Just need to resign.

codesign -vv ~/Library/QuickLook/QLColorCode.qlgenerator/Contents/MacOS/QLColorCode
codesign -fs - ~/Library/QuickLook/QLColorCode.qlgenerator/Contents/MacOS/QLColorCode
codesign -vv ~/Library/QuickLook/QLColorCode.qlgenerator/Contents/MacOS/QLColorCode
qlmanage -r
qlmanage -r cache
pkill -1 Finder

btw adding public.json to Info.plist will add support for .json files.

$ diff -b -C 3 Info.plist.orig Info.plist

I made a few adjustments to the build configuration (#91) and went through the pain of getting it signed and notarized. Here is a working universal release for both Apple M1 and 64-bit Intel:

Probably close. It's working for me on M1.
