Signed MacOS Tauri Build - Unhandled Promise Rejection: shell error: failed to open: Scoped shell IO error: Launcher failed with ExitStatus(unix_wait_status(256))

[AdlerJS]

Describe the bug

I have a signed MacOS Tauri build for distribution and when I try and use shell.open to open a fileDir on the computer it results in the following error being thrown Unhandled Promise Rejection: shell error: failed to open: Scoped shell IO error: Launcher failed with ExitStatus(unix_wait_status(256))

Note: The code works in local develop and in unsigned builds this only occurs in signed macOS builds.

Code Example:

const filePath = await dialog.save();
const fileDir = dirname(filePath);
shell.open(fileDir); // Note - fileDir is something like Users/Dan/Desktop

Tauri Config (shell):

 "shell": {
        "all": true,
        "execute": true,
        "sidecar": true,
        "open": "^"
      }

Reproduction

1.) Create a signed mac os build
2.) Use shell.open to open a local file directory

Expected behavior

Local file directory should open on signed macOS builds

I solved the problem by using the original rust open and calling it using invoke, maybe you need to pass in a specific app using open::with to get it to work.

Tangentially related, did you follow any specific instructions to publish a signed build on the Mac App Store?

So I have some code that does something like this to create the dir.

// crate the config dir if it's not there
try {
  await createDir(await appConfigDir(), {
    recursive: true,
  });
} catch (err: unknown) {
  // noop
}

Seems that it makes a folder but it's beyond cursed...

$ file /Users/hacksore/Library/Application\ Support/com.overlayed.app
/Users/hacksore/Library/Application Support/com.overlayed.app: directory

$ ls /Users/hacksore/Library/Application\ Support/com.overlayed.app                                                                                      
config.json

When I go to call shell.open on the directory I get:

Unhandled Promise Rejection: shell error: failed to open: Scoped shell IO error: Launcher failed with ExitStatus(unix_wait_status(256))

Ok well im dumb, you can't call your app namespace ending in .app cause it will think it's a macOS app 😂
