emacs-mac-app @10.1_1+nativecomp+renameapp+treesitter not functional in Tahoe

[jw7519]

Build from source, no issues with compile. However in Tahoe pulldown are not displaying at all and trying to select them makes the application non responsive.

emacs-mac-app-devel: update to 20250920

See #73045

I'm not on Tahoe and may not be for quite a while, so I can't test this.

There was a relevant update to emacs-mac-app-devel the other day; I've updated the port. Please try that. If it still doesn't work then it's an upstream matter and we'll just have to wait.

I can't get that to build:

The solution for me was to switch to the emacs-app port. Had an issue with native comp so had to -nativecomp on this one, but otherwise seems to be working well.

Built fine for me. You need to post the log...

This ticket is about a problem when running emacs-mac-app (which fetches by downloading a distfile); a problem fetching emacs-mac-app-devel (which fetches by cloning a git repository) is probably unrelated and should be in its own ticket. See for example #69727 which may describe the problem you're seeing.

The non-responsiveness (spinning beach ball) issue with emacs-mac-app resolved for me by switching to emacs-mac-app-devel. Thank you for the suggestion.

To help others having trouble with a git clone, I noticed mine is installing via a tarball:
