Summary
The macOS binary is not universal since v2026.2.26. It was built for both Apple Silicon and Intel Chip before v2026.2.25.
So the users who is using Intel chip Mac will not be able to run macOS menubar anymore.
I believe this is a simple regression during building process. It's very likely that the one who built the v2026.2.26 forgot to include BUILD_ARCHS=all when running the building script
I can confirm above because I have successfully built the universal binary with flag BUILD_ARCHS=all scripts/restart-mac.sh --no-sign
Steps to reproduce
- Download and install v2026.2.26 DMG from github assets
- On Apple Silicon, the application works
- On Intel Macbook, the application doesn't open (because it's not a universal binary and not for Intel x86_64)
Expected behavior
All document clearly claims that the macOS menubar app supports both x86_64 and aarch64 macOS. A universal binary for both architecture should be generated.
Actual behavior
On Intel Macbook, the application doesn't open (because it's not a universal binary and not for Intel x86_64)
OpenClaw version
2026.2.26
Operating system
macOS 15.7
Install method
mac app
