Codex Desktop x64 missing Computer Use installer, cannot enable locked-screen control

Open 💬 6 comments Opened May 29, 2026 by lyfoppa

Summary

On an Intel Mac, Codex Desktop cannot enable the Chinese setting 锁屏操作 (Allow Codex to operate while the Mac is locked). The UI shows repeated toast errors:

无法更新“锁定操作”设置

This appears related to the same missing x64 Computer Use bundle/service as appshot. The app tries to spawn the Computer Use installer from the Codex home directory, but the executable does not exist.

Environment

  • Codex Desktop version: 26.519.41501
  • Build: 3044
  • Bundle ID: com.openai.codex
  • App arch: x64
  • Installed app: /Applications/Codex.app
  • Machine: Intel iMac, x86_64, Intel Core i9-10910
  • macOS: 26.5 / build 25F71
  • Locale/UI: zh-CN

User-visible error

When toggling the locked-screen control setting, the app displays repeated red toast messages:

无法更新“锁定操作”设置

Log evidence

The Codex Sentry scope/log records:

Child process errored with 'spawn /Users/nullht/.codex/computer-use/Codex Computer Use.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Codex Computer Use Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Codex Computer Use Installer ENOENT'

This repeats each time the setting is toggled.

Local package inspection

The installed app is x64:

/Applications/Codex.app/Contents/MacOS/Codex: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
/Applications/Codex.app/Contents/Resources/native/sky.node: Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64

Bundled plugins currently present:

browser
chrome
latex

The x64 app bundle does not include:

Contents/Resources/plugins/openai-bundled/plugins/computer-use/
Codex Computer Use.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Codex Computer Use Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Codex Computer Use Installer

Expected behavior

The locked-screen operation setting should enable successfully, or the x64 package should include an x64-compatible Computer Use app/service/installer.

Actual behavior

The setting cannot be enabled because the Computer Use installer path is missing (ENOENT).

Suspected root cause

The Codex Desktop x64 distribution still appears to be missing the Computer Use bundle needed by both appshot and locked-screen control.

I can confirm this still happens on the latest macOS Intel build.

Codex version:
26.527.31326 (3390)

Platform:
Darwin 22.6.0 x86_64 i386

Command output:

uname -m
x86_64

ls "/Applications/Codex.app/Contents/Resources/plugins/openai-bundled/plugins/"
browser chrome latex

The computer-use plugin is still missing from the bundled plugins directory.

As a result, Computer Use / AppShots / locked-screen control cannot be enabled on the Intel macOS build, even though the current Codex documentation says Computer Use works on macOS and Windows, and the download page still provides a macOS Intel build.

This was tested after updating to version 26.527.31326, the same release that added Windows Computer Use support.
