Hello,

When i try to export my project to mac (I am on windows 10), the checkbox is greyed out.  
Why is this happening and how do i fix it. i am using the serial library for communicating with my arduino and the G4P for an easy GUI.

Thanks in advance,

Bart

If you have a mac, try to export it from there. Windows 10 seems to have some quirks. Allthough i have no experience with windows 10 so there might be a possibility that it can work…

Unfortunately, you can only export to mac from a mac.😢
