How to run properly chmod in OSX with C#?

Question

I have the same problem as here How run chmod in OSX with C#

I would like to change permission via code in Unity I tried :

ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo() 
{
    FileName = "chmod",
    Arguments = "+x " + "Game.app/Contents/MacOS/Game"                              
};

Process proc = new Process() { StartInfo = startInfo, };
proc.Start();

but doesn't work, any advices?

Welcome to StackOverflow! could you specify `doesn't work` a little further? Any exceptions/errors? Does anything happen at all? Do you pass the correct arguments/path? — derHugo, Jul 15 '19 at 14:11
no errors but not work, I tried the same commands via terminal and everything works — eugen, Jul 15 '19 at 14:15
are you sure your code is called/executed at all? (breakpoints & debugging) — derHugo, Jul 15 '19 at 14:18
maybe the path isn't correct? I don't know how the relative paths work for Unity on iOS. Maybe you will have to specifiy the `startInfo.WorkingDirectory` — derHugo, Jul 15 '19 at 14:40
I testing standalone mac build not iOS, testing different paths right now — eugen, Jul 15 '19 at 14:42

I'm not sure but maybe you first have to open e.g. bash and then pass in the chmod call as parameter using -c something like

ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo() 
{
    FileName = "/bin/bash",
    Arguments = "-c \" chmod +x  Game.app/Contents/MacOS/Game\" ",

    CreateNoWindow = true
};

Process proc = new Process() { StartInfo = startInfo, };
proc.Start();

still assuming ofcourse the path is correct.

and maybe also add some callbacks like

proc.ErrorDataReceived += (sender, e) =>
{
    UnityEngine.Debug.LogError(e.Data);
};
proc.OutputDataReceived += (sender, e) =>
{
    UnityEngine.Debug.Log(e.Data);
};
proc.Exited += (sender, e) =>
{
    UnityEngine.Debug.Log(e.ToString());
};

proc.Start();

I see result (ExitCode) 1 in Exited Delegate – eugen Jul 15 '19 at 15:12
ok so atleast we know the command is executed and for some reason fails (exit code 1) maybe first you should try to run `"-c \"ls Game.app/Contents/MacOS/Game\""` and see if maybe the according file is not found – derHugo Jul 15 '19 at 15:15
ah, sec. I see the problem. my game has space in the name (Test Game.app) everything works great when I removed space – eugen Jul 15 '19 at 15:21
I replaced name Test\" Game and works. thanks a lot for your time – eugen Jul 15 '19 at 15:23
