When you start the application directly from the .dmg, does it work, please? You can bypass the security daemon by "right" (two finger) click and then Open.

No change with FedoraMediaWriter-mac-3.97.1.dmg. It hangs whether launched from the DMG or copied to /Applications.
FedoraMediaWriter-mac-3.97.1.dmg works fine here: OS 10.11.2 MacBookPro 8.1 (i7) very slow downloads but writes booting USB's for me Installed from one on booted USB (right efi icon ) wrote to external USB Hd and it booted.
For me: OS 10.11.6 MacBookPro 8.2 (i7) There's no useful information either, I have to force quit and then I get the hang problem report that the OS generates (which is attached).

Nope, I still have this problem, it's not fixed.
FedoraMediaWriter-mac-3.97.1.dmg macOS 10.12 (also observed using OS X 10.11.6) I see the same problem. There is really not much feedback from media writer as to what it is doing. I tried launching from the command line with the '--testing' argument but still there was no feedback. When I look at the diagnostic messages in the system console, I see that every few seconds media writer is triggering something with wifi. E.g. com.apple.message.domain: com.apple.wifi.internal.scanning com.apple.message.error: No Error com.apple.message.duration: 3 com.apple.message.process_name: mediawriter com.apple.message.mac_address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx SenderMachUUID: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx I can't find any other information. Is there a way to turn on debugging?
From trying to google your log message, it seems that's something related to the Qt network manager: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/golden-cheetah-users/fsMM-LvvFQc . It's most likely benign and related to checking if network connectivity is still available. There is no real debug code in FMW as of now unfortunately, just a few informational messages and warnings and errors if something goes wrong. I'll add a few debug messages to the next release so we see if it's running in the background. Honestly, I don't know how to test this. For me and a few friends I asked to test the tool it worked okay. One more strange element to the whole puzzle is ausil's builds works for you. It doesn't work for me...
mbriza: both cmurf and ajs seem to be on quite new versions (10.11.6 and 10.12), while satellit is on something older (10.11.2). What version did you test with?
I'm on 10.11.6 too. As I mentioned on IRC, I think the most important builds are the ones done by dgilmore/ausil on his fedorapeople space. In Comment 11, I mentioned his build didn't work for me but they actually do. Those are the ones that will get shipped in the end. Hopefully he'll do a new build soon so we see if nothing changed over the time and they still work.
Ah - well right now I have the wiki page linking to the github releases page for MacOS, should we change it to point at Dennis' builds? And if so can you give me the correct URL for that?

OK good news. I created a new user account, logged in, and mediawriter launches; I can also quit and still relaunch; and log out and launch again. The problem doesn't happen with the new user. This means there's some statefulness in the current user that's causing the problem. It may have to do with prior mediawriter's saving some state that something doesn't like. near:~ chris$ find ~/ -name "*mediawriter*" /Users/chris//Library/Application Support/com.apple.sharedfilelist/com.apple.LSSharedFileList.ApplicationRecentDocuments/com.yourcompany.mediawriter.sfl /Users/chris//Library/Application Support/CrashReporter/mediawriter_A9D64CE6-71F9-5004-813E-60DED8EB4925.plist /Users/chris//Library/Preferences/com.yourcompany.mediawriter.mediawriter.plist /Users/chris//Library/Saved Application State/com.yourcompany.mediawriter.savedState Deleting these one at a time, the problem still happens even once all are removed. So I'm not sure what statefulness is responsible for this.
Thank you for the good news! I assume it's caused by something unrelated to the stored state of the mediawriter. I have tried downloading and running every version of mediawriter I have released and I have not experienced any freezes or crashes similar to yours. Could probably be caused by some other setting of your system...
Adam, now you can provide this URL: https://ausil.fedorapeople.org/FedoraMediaWriter-osx-3.97.1-17-g480c143.dmg
mbriza: can't we have a permanent download page? it's rather awkward having to update every time you make a release...
Well you can still of course use the github page, except we won't be testing the real official builds done by our release engineering. This would be until dgilmore and the rest of releng sort out a way to deliver the downloads.
Dennis, is it possible to get some kind of un-changing link to the latest 'official' macOS and Windows(?) builds of mediawriter to use on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB ? Right now, as mentioned above, I'm just linking to the github releases page...
