Etcher not work on macOS Catalina

[zhuyingda]

• Etcher version: 1.5.45
• Operating system and architecture: MacOS Catalina 10.15.7
• Image flashed: gladys-4.0.0.img (download and unzip from https://github.com/gladysassistant/gladys)
• Do you see any meaningful error information in the DevTools?

Mon Dec 21 2020 08:41:39 GMT+0800 (CST) Flash error ({"error":{"name":"Error","message":"EPERM: operation not permitted, open '/dev/rdisk2'","stack":"Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, open '/dev/rdisk2'","code":"EPERM","syscall":"open","errno":-1},"applicationSessionUuid":"9a3b459e-95b4-4c0f-bd4b-cae7e941ee1c","flashingWorkflowUuid":"1ea72e03-e61a-490e-b28c-c40ef0ae0d9f","flashInstanceUuid":"73918c68-761c-48e9-8c6a-1e2fe86c6a76","image":"/Applications/balenaEtcher.app/gladys-4.0.0.img","drives":[{"size":63864569856,"isVirtual":false,"enumerator":"DiskArbitration","logicalBlockSize":512,"raw":"/dev/rdisk2","error":null,"isReadOnly":false,"displayName":"/dev/disk2","blockSize":512,"isSCSI":false,"isRemovable":true,"device":"/dev/disk2","busVersion":null,"isSystem":false,"busType":"USB","isCard":false,"isUSB":true,"devicePath":"IODeviceTree:/PCI0@0/PEG1@1,1/UPSB@0/DSB2@2/XHC2@0","mountpoints":[],"description":"SanDisk SDDR-B531 Media","isUAS":null}],"driveCount":1,"uuid":"73918c68-761c-48e9-8c6a-1e2fe86c6a76","unmountOnSuccess":true,"validateWriteOnSuccess":true,"sample":0.1})

I have tried the way sudo execute the etcher directly which I see here: 2833-511152047

It solved the problem that I can not open the img file because of permission, but it does not solved the problem that I can not open the /dev/rdisk2 usb device (it is a sdcard reader/writer).

I also have tried 2833-534984500 open "Full Disk Access" for etcher.

It still does not solved my problem.

Anyone can help me?

Please try v1.5.113 as mentioned in the other thread and then hopefully this should work as well https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/releases/tag/v1.5.113
