MDK dependencies installer issue on Mac

[LeonardoGomez]

I want to build an MDK client in my Mac. When I run the MDK dependencies installer it briefly opens a "loading" page and then it becomes completely blank. I tried with many different version of MDK SDK version but none of them worked: 4.3.x, 5.1.x, 6.1.3 and even 3.1.0. I did this a long time ago and the dependencies installer worked, so it may be an issue with a recent macOS update. I am running macOS Monterrey 12.4.

Your help is highly appreciated

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your quick reply!! Unfortunately, I tried to apply the solution in the note but after fixing the UI version and launching the dependencies installer again I get an error: "MDK Dependencies Installer.app" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

Thanks again!

One step closer. I found a way around that error in Google. Now the solution in the note works with MDK SDKs 6.1.x but on earlier ones (4.3.x) shows this error after the "loading page". Unfortunately I need a 4.3.x version of the SDK because I need to debug a SAP ASSET MANAGER 2010 app.

Hi Leonardo,

In that case, try change the ui5 version to 1.60.44 (the closest version to the original 1.56.15 that MDK Dependencies Installer used) instead of 1.102.1. I tested it and it works fine.

Regards

Hi Bill

We followed the steps in the SAP note, but when we edit the index.html file -> save--> open the dependency installer then instead of the page it opens the HTML code. We are on MacOs

Any clues on where we are going wrong

The other workaround would be to use the CLI script instead of the GUI to check the dependencies.

1. Open a Terminal Window
2. In Finder, Right click on the MDK Dependencies Installer and select Show Package Contents
3. Expand the Resources > app > cli folder
4. Drag and drop the check.sh file to the Terminal window and press enter to run the check
5. The script will check each of the dependencies and report the results to the terminal window
