clawdbot-macos-build

by @manish-basargekar

Build the Clawdbot macOS menu bar app from source. Use when you need to install the Clawdbot.app companion (for menu bar status, permissions, and Mac hardware access like camera/screen recording). Handles dependency installation, UI build, Swift compilation, code signing, and app packaging automatically.

βš™οΈ Configuration

  • macOS (10.14+)
  • Xcode 15+ with Command Line Tools
  • Node.js >= 22
  • pnpm package manager
  • 30+ GB free disk space (Swift build artifacts)
  • Internet connection (large dependencies)

    • πŸ“‹ Tips & Best Practices

    "Invalid tools version"

    Swift build requires 6.2+. Update Xcode: 
    softwareupdate -i -a

    "License not agreed"

    sudo xcodebuild -license accept

    "No signing identity found"

    Use ad-hoc signing for local builds: 
    ALLOW_ADHOC_SIGNING=1 bash scripts/package-mac-app.sh

    Swift compilation hangs or is very slow

  • Ensure Xcode is fully updated: xcode-select --install or update via App Store
  • Check disk space: df -h (need ~30GB free)
  • Close other apps to free RAM

    • App won't launch after build

    Check that it's properly signed: 
    codesign -v /Applications/Clawdbot.app

    If signing failed, rebuild with ALLOW_ADHOC_SIGNING=1.
