Chicken App Needs Update for Mac
EDIT: See my comment below on 14 May 2023 for a better solution Let me preface this with a massive "I have no idea what I'm doing" but I was able to download and build Chicken on macOS 12.2 with Xcode 13.2.1 and create myself a private build that seems stable and functional. (I expect this won't work on Apple's new processors, but it should on Intel) It's normal to receive multiple prompts from Keychain; keep entering your password and selecting "Always Allow". (I presume proper signing would resolve...
EDIT: Initially uploaded wrong version of files oops Posting this in the thread rather than a reply to @ippolito for some visibility Some time after my initial post in this thread, I found a few projects on github that copied this project and improved upon it. None are official attempts to replace the project, but the one that appeared best maintained at the time was: https://github.com/ays7/chicken which I downloaded and built and had a much, much better Chicken experience than my own attempt at...

I haven't forgotten about this, I just haven't had much time to sit down and do it (and I can't just share the build I have, because it was built on the work computer, and I'm not allowed to share stuff like that...) Unfortunately the build from the post above, while better than the official release, still had some annoyances. I did some looking around and there were a number of repos on github that forked from this original code. One in particular received a number of updates so I grabbed that and...
Gonna get back to you on this hopefully in a day or two (provided I don't get distracted and forget) - Some time after I wrote the above I did some research and took a different path - but it's on my work computer and I wanna look at what I did and get my notes in order before I say anything (c: If you don't hear from me in like 3 days, please nag me - I just forgot oops lol
May you share your private build? I love chicken so much but I'm definitely not able to do what you have done. Thank you anyway.
Oh, I see. Sorry for the confusion, I misread it.

As per the first sentence in my post, "When I try to connect to my VMware Workstation machine running on a Windows box." Either way, it is of no consequence, I'm not using Chicken. Can't remember what other software I used, but I just picked another one that worked.
Why do you think that the error message is wrong? By default, Apple systems do not allow standard VNC clients to connect. (The RealVNC viewer may implement the non-standard Apple protocol.) You have to explicitely enable access for VNC clients on the Mac, as documented here on the Apple website: https://support.apple.com/guide/remote-desktop/set-up-a-computer-running-vnc-software-apdbed09830/mac That website says: 1. On the client computer, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Sharing, then...

VNC Chicken
Hi there, I have downloaded and installed the latest version of Chicken but when I try to open it I get an error saying "the developer of this app needs to update it to work with this version of MacOS" referring to this page: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT208436 I have a MacOS CATILINA version 10.15.3 (19D76). Am I doing something wrong?
Chicken not working on Catalina
thank you so much
The version linked above is 64 bit and works on Catalina
hello the chicken of vnc is no longer supported in mac os catalina do you know think the the 64bit version please
This is also a 64 bit version (for those eyeing Catalina support)
Ditto. Any way to scale the remote view?
I've recently found this issues a bit of a PITA. Is there a way to scale the remote screen view to fit in a Chicken window?

I got the same error regularly. Mac OS 10.12.6, Chicken version 2.2b2. VNC Server is tightvonc on Ubuntu. My temporary solution so far: When I log in via "ssh -Y" to a Linux machine and launch xtightvncviewer to the same VNC server I see a black screen (some kind of blank screen saver?) that disappears after pressing a key. After that I see the normal X desktop and a connection from Chicken works again. I hope that helps to discover the problem or shall I capture the data transmitted betwenn VNC...
