The Bundle Identifier for the Gridcoin wallet app is set to the same ID as the Bitcoin wallet ( org.bitcoinfoundation.Bitcoin-Qt )

This is a big problem for macOS as this identifier is how the system tells different programs apart. This is a problem if you try to run both programs at the same time, and it's even a problem just having both programs (Gridcoin & Bitcoin) on the same machine, as certain system settings will be applied to both because the system thinks they are the same program.

This ID can be viewed in the following file:
/Applications/Girdcoin.app/Contents/Info.plist

" CFBundleIdentifier
org.bitcoinfoundation.Bitcoin-Qt"

NOTE: It may be a simple matter of changing the ID in this file. I don't know enough about macOS application compiling to know if the fix is that simple, or if it has to be fixed elsewhere.

This bug is in 5.3.2 and 5.3.3 and 5.3.0
Also 5.3.2 on Jiro's builds has the problem too.

I have not checked any other versions but I suspect it's been an issue since day one.

Machine specs

  • OS: macOS 10.15.7
