I am in the tech department for a school that uses GameMaker 2 and we sue the app on Macs. We have the software available to students in our storefront that they can choose to download the app if they use it for a class. I went and downloaded the latest installer yesterday and ran into an issue during testing.
The installation goes fine, no problem. The problem arises when the user runs the app for the first time and logs in. During the Installing runtime process a pop-up appears saying the osascript would like to make some changes and asks for an admin password. Our users are not admins on these devices and so they would be unable to authorize osascript to change anything.
I was wondering if anyone knew what the app was trying to do at this point and and it there was some way around it. I did try canceling the prompt and everything seemed fine but I don't use GameMaker so there was no way for me to do a real test.
Here is an image of the message and what I was seeing.
