Google is looking to bring a version of its Chrome OS app launcher to the Mac, possibly as an add-on to the Chrome browser, allowing users to access a slew of Web apps normally available only from. Unlike Google Now Launcher, GO Launcher does not support swiping right from the main home screen, to go into the Google App. However, it supports quite a number of gestures. Which is why I set a double tap to launch the Google app, instead. Basically, if you put in a bit of time with GO Launcher, and customise it to your liking, it can be a. Some apps/extensions manage to run separately in this regard. For example Google Keep. 2) The app name is a bit ridiculous in the menu bar: 'App launcher for Inbox by Gmail App' Come on, why not just: 'Inbox by Gmail' 3) If you could add Extension support – namely Gmelius for Inbox –.
Google App Launcher Not Working Mac Pro
APKs acquired from anything other than the Google Play store is unsupported by us. It might be possible, but we will not help you.
Your APK is made for the ARM architecture. You need an x86 (32-bit) or x86_64 (64-bit) APK to play on your computer. If you have an ARM laptop (most chromebooks, pinebook) it should work.
NO. That is Piracy and we DO NOT support it on this project. Anyone caught asking this in the support server will face consequences.
The current workaround is to use LD_PRELOAD for nss3, eg.
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libnss3.so./Minecraft_Bedrock_Launcher.AppImage
Make sure you the libnss3
package installed.This happens when the controller’s Deadzones are not set properly for the game. You must manually set the deadzones for your controller.
- Linux: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gamepad#evdev_API_deadzones or if you have an Xbox360 Controller, open a terminal and run
sudoxboxdrv--detach-kernel-driver--deadzone6000--silent--typexbox360--mimic-xpad
while you are ingame. - Mac OS X: TBA
If the game is running poorly, it might be using software rendering (identified by the
llvmpipe
string in the renderer). If you have been redirected here by a link in the launcher this is the case.You should make sure to install the proper 32-bit graphic drivers for your hardware.
- For integrated graphics and most AMD GPUs (and maybe Nvidia on nouveau) -
sudoapt-getinstalllibegl1-mesa:i386libegl1-mesa-drivers:i386
- For some Nvidia cards (eg. GeForce series), assuming proprietary driver is already installed, install the associated libnvidia-gl-xxx package (where xxx = driver version for your hardware). For example, if the nvidia-driver-390 metapackage is installed, then
sudoapt-getinstalllibnvidia-gl-390
.
You may need to reinstall the proprietary drivers if you had installed them manually before.
Make sure you have properly installed the following packages:
msa-daemonmsa-ui-qt
If compiling from sources, make sure to install the MSA component.❗Please note that the in-game Music is downloaded separately as a free item in the Marketplace.❗
- Ubuntu: Make sure
libasound2:i386
is installed. If it is, you may need to installlibpulse0:i386
. - Arch: Make sure
lib32-libpulse
andlib32-alsa-plugins
are installed on your system. - Other distros: Make sure to install alsa (asound) and/or pulseaudio depending on your system configuration.
to update the launcher on newer versions of the launcher Press the gear icon and then check for updates
if your launcher is too old or you cant find these buttonsin Ubuntu prebuilt packages do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
and on Mac OS - Redownload the package
Currently, macOS Catalina does not support 32-bit applications at this time, so you will need to use the NG version of the launcher https://github.com/ChristopherHX/osx-packaging-scripts/releases/tag/ng.dmg which is not fully supported and may be behind on certain updates
Alternatively, you can:
- Downgrade to Mojave
- Find a suitable Linux Distro (anything Ubuntu-based will be the easiest)
Try using [@ChristopherHX’s fork](https://github.com/ChristopherHX/mcpelauncher-manifest/releases) which uses a different workaround for 1.13+ support than the standard launcher. For support, contact @ChristopherHX on the [Discord chat room](https://discord.gg/TaUNBXr).
You need to install the
zenity
utility:- Ubuntu -
sudoapt-getinstallzenity
Chances are, you don’t have the actual game yet. This project does not provide MCPE/Minecraft Bedrock Edition itself.
The easiest way to download and start the game is through the graphical Qt UI (
mcpelauncher-ui-qt
, sometimes called metalauncher). This requires to log into a Google Play Account with Minecraft purchased.Otherwise, obtain a valid Minecraft x86
.apk
file and use the extract utility.To start a given version of Minecraft you can run
mcpelauncher-client
with the -dg
argument, eg. mcpelauncher-client-dg~/.local/share/mcpelauncher/versions/DESIRED_VERSION
.ls~/.local/share/mcpelauncher/versions/
will list all versions you have installed.This can be fixed by starting the game manually via the command line. To do this, open a terminal and run the following:
Linux:
mcpelauncher-client-dg~/.local/share/mcpelauncher/versions/1.2.3.4
- Replace 1.2.3.4 with the version of Minecraft you want to run.
Mac OS X:
cd/Applications/MinecraftBedrockLauncher.app/Contents/MacOS
./mcpelauncher-client-dg~/Library/ApplicationSupport/mcpelauncher/versions/1.2.3.4
- Replace 1.2.3.4 with the version of Minecraft you want to run.
Click the gear icon (settings) in the top right corner of the Qt launcher window, and press the [Run troubleshooter] button.
This may happen when the game launcher has not been installed or set properly. The launcher (mcpelauncher-client) must be available in the PATH variable for the launcher to work.If you are compiling from sources and do not want to install the launcher, please set the GAME_LAUNCHER_PATH at compile time with cmake (eg.
cmake-DGAME_LAUNCHER_PATH-/home/paul/mcpelauncher/build/mcpelauncher-client.
, make sure that this is the path to the directory containing the binary, and not the binary itself). Otherwise make sure the launcher is properly installed in your system.First of all, make sure a version name is displayed under the Download and Play button. If it’s not, please wait some time and/or try restarting the launcher. A window asking you to accept Google Play TOS should appear first.
If the launcher still fails to download, it’s possible you are trying to download a beta version of the game. Make sure to register in the beta first at https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.mojang.minecraftpe.
You must have purchased Minecraft on the account you’re trying to use.

Google Chrome’s ability to create desktop shortcuts for websites is an incredibly useful feature. You get to open sites in dedicated Chrome windows, and they also give off the impression of functioning like actual Windows or macOS apps. Ideal if you hate messing around with tabs.
However, you may run into specific issues when using Chrome’s Create Shortcut functionality. For example, certain shortcuts that you create will launch in normal Chrome windows, complete with tabs and the address bar visible. Or you may find the option grayed out and unusable.
That said, let’s take a look at several fixes that can help you get this vital feature rolling in the right direction.
Important: Before proceeding, make sure to update Chrome to the latest version. To do that, open the Chrome menu, point to Help, and then click About Google Chrome.Also on Guiding Tech

Create Website Shortcuts With No Address Bar
Chrome’s Create Shortcut functionality is easy to use. However, you must configure the browser to open the website in its dedicated window (without tabs and the address bar) during the creation process. Otherwise, any shortcut that you create will open in normal Chrome windows by default.
After loading a website, open the Chrome menu, point to Tools, and then click Create Shortcut.
On the pop-up box that shows up, make sure to check the box next to Open As Window.
Important: If you don’t see the Open As Window option, you must update Chrome to the latest version and then retry. Google removed this option in Chrome version 69, and then subsequently re-added it in version 72. Hence, you must use Chrome v72 or higher.Click the Create button to create the shortcut. You can now open the website in its own dedicated Chrome window (without the address bar) whenever you double-click it via the desktop.
Tip: Use the ellipsis icon (three-dotted) to the upper-right corner of the window to access your extensions, view site settings, and more.Configure Pre-Existing Shortcuts to Disable Address Bar and Tabs
If you’ve already created the shortcuts, you don’t have to go through this process. The app launcher in Chrome should let you reconfigure how the shortcuts function quite easily.
Start by typing chrome://apps into the Chrome address bar. You will then see a list of all the website shortcuts that you’ve created using Chrome over time.
Simply right-click the shortcut that you want to open in a dedicated Chrome window (with no tabs and address bar visible), and then click Open as Window.
Now head back to your desktop, and then double-click the shortcut. And voila! It should open in its dedicated window.

At times, you will find the Create Shortcut option grayed out. That happens if you are using an Incognito window or a Guest window in Chrome. To resolve the issue, you must use a normal Chrome window.
Download generic.app mac. If you like using the Dock better than the Finder window sidebar, for example, add your Documents, Movies, Pictures, Music, or even your hard disk to the Dock.Consider adding these items to your Dock.
To switch to normal browsing mode while in Incognito mode, open the Chrome menu, and then click New Window. Load the website that you want to create a shortcut to, and you should be able to access the Create Shortcut option without issues.
To get out of Guest mode, click the Guest profile icon, and then click Exit Guest. Once again, load the website in a normal Chrome window, and you can then access the Create Shortcut option once again.
Launch Setapp and search for CleanMyMac. https://cleverwar711.weebly.com/how-to-show-all-apps-on-my-mac.html.
However, the Create Shortcut option will still appear grayed out on new tab pages or in Chrome’s internal pages (such as the Settings page). Chrome restricts you from creating shortcuts to these pages by design.
Fix Website Shortcut Not Showing On Desktop Issue
If the shortcut to a website doesn’t show up on your PC or Mac, it’s relatively easy to fix the issue. Start by visiting the Chrome app launcher (type chrome://apps into the address bar). Right-click the shortcut, and then select Create Shortcuts on the context menu.
Check the box next to Desktop, and then click Create. You should then find the shortcut present within the desktop again.
If the shortcut fails to appear, you must then delete the shortcut and create it anew. To do that, right-click the shortcut within the Apps Launcher, and then click Remove From Chrome.
Afterward, load the website within a normal Chrome window, and then recreate the shortcut — make sure to check the Open As Window option if you want the shortcut to open in a dedicated Chrome window.
Bonus Tip — Installing Progressive Web Apps
Starting with Chrome version 70, the browser now lets you install certain websites as progressive web apps. Otherwise known as PWAs, these 'apps' work similarly to ordinary website shortcuts, but feature bolstered functionality such as notification support and faster load times.
After loading a website, check for a ‘+’-shaped icon to the right corner of the address bar. If you see one, click it, and then click Install.
By default, 'installing' PWAs will configure the shortcuts to launch in their dedicated windows, which lets you skip the additional step of checking off the Open As Window box when using the Create Shortcut option.
However, do remember that you will not see this option on the majority of websites — if that’s the case, then you must use the Create Shortcut option instead.
