Hi, I've just followed the building for MacOS instructions, and end up with an app that runs, but can't connect to Tor.

The bits that jump out from the logs are:

flutter: StartCwtch( cwtchdir: /Users/mykter/Library/Application Support/Cwtch/dev, torPath:  )
...
2023/07/28 14:29:46 tor/torProvider.go [INFO] tor version:

I also receive these warnings when building:

$ flutter build macos --no-tree-shake-icons

I've tried both fetch-tor-macos.sh and installing Tor Browser and copying it over.

The tor executable works:

./macos/Tor/tor --version
Tor version 0.4.7.13 (git-7c1601fb6edd780f).
Tor is running on Darwin with Libevent 2.1.12-stable, OpenSSL 1.1.1u, Zlib 1.2.11, Liblzma N/A, Libzstd N/A and Unknown N/A as libc.
Tor compiled with clang version 14.0.4

flutter doctor output (I'm just missing the Android deps, which I assume don't matter here):

Incidentally I could then no longer quit Cwtch in the normal manner, and had to force kill it. Trying to quit it normally it hangs for a bit, then an endless series of messages starts to appear:

Thanks for the report!

Error connecting to Tor replacing with ErrorACN: could not connect to or start Tor that met requirements (min Tor version 0.3.5.x)

Generally indicates that Tor cannot be found in the given PATH - is the tor executable in ./macos/Tor/ also in the PATH?

Incidentally I could then no longer quit Cwtch in the normal manner, and had to force kill it.

This is likely related to: #356
