Flashpap stopped working on macOS Catalina
#1
Flashpap stopped working on macOS Catalina
Unfortunately, I cannot run FlasPAP anymore since update to macOS 10.15.2.
It automagically is opened by "Archive utility", resulting in opening a new folder FLASHPAP...
I installed jre-8u241-macosx-x64 but that did not change it.
Anyone???

This might help (from Oracle website):
https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/...81620.html

I just updated my Java from here: https://www.java.com/en/download/
And downloaded/ran FlashPAP and it worked for me.

My info for FlashPAP.jar shows "Jar Launcher.app" as the default

RE: Flashpap stopped working on macOS Catalina
I realize this not be any help to Mac users but in Linux Java 8 runs FlashPAP fine. When Linux chose to upgrade to Java 11, FlashPAP refuses to run and you have to downgrade back to 8.  I kept getting the error of "Java runtime not found".   I don't know if this is a viable option for you, but I created a bash script to pipe the error to a desktop file.  Here is a copy of the script.  I hope it will help.
Code:
#!/bin/bash

cd /home/cn/FlashPAP

# The line below was required to run this script in crontab
export DISPLAY=:0  

/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin/java -jar FlashPAP.jar user=CrimsonNape exit=yes &>> /home/cn/Desktop/err.log 2>&1

RE: Flashpap stopped working on macOS Catalina
Another option....
If you noticed in Catalina they have removed the "Anywhere" option under "System Preferences>Security & Privacy>General

You can bring that option back using Terminal:
Code:
sudo spctl --master-disable

And the "Anywhere" option will return.  Try re-installing the jre download again and see if it works.  
To return things to normal use the same code with --master-enable

Thank you, Jeff, but I've tried both already. Strange is that Jar Launcher.app never can be found on my MacBook Air ... Where should it be?

Also this did not make it happen. And I still cannot find Jar Launcher anywhere.
And CLI still states "JavaFX runtime components are missing", what can it be???

RE: Flashpap stopped working on macOS Catalina
Arie, sorry for the delay.  Had to do some digging to find it!
On my machine it's hidden in /System/Library/CoreServices/Java Launcher.app

Looks like it's a system file.  System has RW permissions, Wheel and Everyone has R permissions

EDIT: a last option would be to turn off SIP (System Integrity Protection) from a reboot into recovery mode.  This version worked for me with stubborn files prior to Catalina.  Seems everytime aple comes out with a new update the make GateKeeper more troublesome!
