I have a small software for MacOS with a simple dmg installer (Open, drag and drop to Application folder, you know). My problem is, that the software writes a small ini file inside the.app package and if I update the software, this file is lost, because the old package is removed before writing the new one.
Yeah, AtomicSuperman and I have been having this issue as well. I think it's on Mojang's end so there's nothing to do until it's fixed. For now, you'll have to either re-download the old launcher, or use the old launcher if you still have it installed. To re-download the old launcher, go here - Then, click where it says 'show all platforms', and scroll down to where it says 'Minecraft for Linux/Other' and click the blue minecraft.jar link under it. This will download the old jar file, and make minecraft usable until the OS X/Mac launcher is fixed.
I HAVE FOUND THE ANSWER!!!!! Please read the instructions CAREFULLY!!!!

1) Go to finder and do Shift+Command+G 2)Type /Library into the slot provided 3)Click on the folder named Application Support 4)Scroll down until you find a folder named Minecraft 5)In there you should find a jar file called launcher, click on that jar file. The launcher should start up as normal allowing to also go on servers bypassing the update, use this technique until the Mojang team fix the problem. Thanks, YouTube16092001.
. See my below before continuing!. With the release of Mac OS X Yosemite, Minecraft stopped working for anyone who has updated (or any new Yosemite users, such as a new computer purchase). Mojang is of little help so far and seems unconcerned.
( Read my update below, as Mojang finally seems to be working on a fix!) The ‘fix’ options so far are to 1) Install an old, specially modified version of Java 6 released by Apple, or 2) install the latest Java version 8 from Oracle and implement a workaround. Fortunately, the latter (a MUCH better option, IMO) is not that difficult. ( The article is long due to detail the steps are relatively easy!). Overview. Step 1 – Remove old Java. Step 2 – Install Java.
Step 3 – Configure Java. Step 4 – Download Minecraft. Step 5 – Play Minecraft!. Step 6 (optional) – Make it pretty!. Step 7 (optional) – Play with a console controller?. Estimated time: 10-15 minutes.
Do the same under the ‘home’ (Hard Drive/Users/username/) Library folder, which Apple has hidden, making it a bit more tricky to access. When you are at Finder (ie: click on your Desktop to make it the ‘active’ app), drop-down the ‘Go’ menu and notice a ‘Library’ folder appears if you hold the ‘option’ key down (and disappears if you release it).
Select that Library folder and it should open. Same as above, check your Internet Plug-ins folder (for Java-related items) and look for a Java folder. /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ (look for Java related items) /Library/ (look for Java).
