Hi Marty, this worked like a charm. I was trying to open Trevor's dataview_demo and was getting the same “An error occurred while initialising the application…” msg. This fixed it.

Re: Unable to load Preferences LC 9.6.9rc3 and Levure 9.0.5
I don’t have an “M” chip Mac here to test at the moment but here’s something to try: In the Levure framework open the helpers folder and then the preferences folder Modify the helper.yml file by deleting the section under externals so the file just contains the following externals: libraries: - filename: preferences.livecodescript extensions: - filename: nsuserdefaults.lcm engine version: ">=9.0" platform: macos,ios Then try a build and see how that works. I just tried it on my Intel iMac and preferences are working OK without the previous content. Please let me know how it works on your “M” mac Marty > On Apr 10, 2023, at 3:23 AM, Mark Waddingham via use-livecode > wrote: > > On 2023-04-08 14:58, bob--- via use-livecode wrote: >> I'm wondering if anyone might be able to help me out.

The reason is isn't working is that the preferences external included in Levure does not have a ARM64 slice - so won't load when the engine is running using that architecture. The preferences external will need to be rebuilt with an arm64 slice and included in Levure. (When looking at this the other day, I did notice that Levure has an LCB extension which can do preferences stuff on macOS - bypassing the need for an external, but I couldn't see how you opt to use that instead of the external).

Re: Unable to load Preferences LC 9.6.9rc3 and Levure 9.0.5
I use Levure to build apps too and discovered this issue when my standalones try to run natively on the Apple “M” chips. I’m guessing that LC 9.6.9rc3 (haven’t tried it yet) defaults to running natively rather than under Rosetta. For some reason when running natively it apparently thinks that something in the “Preferences.bundle" is a (not native) external so won’t/can’t load it. So I am also needing a solution to this but no luck so far. --- Marty Knapp > On Apr 8, 2023, at 6:58 AM, bob--- via use-livecode > wrote: > > I'm wondering if anyone might be able to help me out.

Unable to load Preferences LC 9.6.9rc3 and Levure 9.0.5
I'm wondering if anyone might be able to help me out. I’m trying to use LC 9.6.9rc3 with an app built with Levure. With LC 9.6.9rc2 I am able to open the app in the IDE with no issue. When I try to open the app with LC 9.6.9rc3 I get “An error occurred while initializing the application [unable to load external Preferences]”. I’m tracing through the Levure script now and can see in fact the Preference stack is not being loaded. I’ve confirmed Preferences.bundle is at the location referenced in the script. Can anyone steer me in a direction for a fix to this?
