Sierra: Fluid Apps Show Question Mark in Dock

sierra_question_mark

I think I know what’s going wrong. On Sierra, if an app has not been manually dragged into the "Applications" folder by the user, then the app cannot be successfully "kept" in the Dock. This is a new "security feature" of some kind from Apple.

This has something to do with App Translocation: http://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/app-translocation.html

Or path randomization: http://mjtsai.com/blog/2016/06/16/gatekeeper-path-randomization/

So you should remove the Question Mark from the Dock, quit the Fluid App you created, drag your Fluid App to your "Applications" folder (you may have to drag it *out* first), relaunch it and try again.

Thanks,

I dragged my Fluid apps from the Desktop to Applications, and THEN chose to keep them in the dock once they opened, and they still show question marks sometimes.

This is how it worked for me:

1. Create the app leaving the default Location value to Desktop.
2. Once created, click the Reveal in finder.
3. Drag the app from Desktop to mac Application folder.
4. Run the app from within the Application folder.
5. In the Dock - Right-click the app icon then Options -> Keep in dock.

Amir,
Thank you! I was getting crazy, as one app was working and the others kept getting lost with question mark.
Your sequence did work perfectly.
They should include it in Fluid.app instructions.
