    Status: Open => Answered

RaiMan proposed the following answer:
I am on macOS 10.13 and tried this:

App.open("firefox")
App.open("google chrome")

both worked as expected.

Both apps are in the /Applications folder.

Another example:
PhotoScape X is the app title as shown in the menubar, but in the app package itself (Content/MacOS/...) it is named PhotoScapeX (the file that is used to open the app)

App.open("photoscape x") does not work
App.open("photoscapex") works

But that should not have anything to do with your problem, since you say, that the apps open but close again immediately.
You must have another problem with your system.
Did you try the mac open command from a Terminal?

I tested with SikuliX 1.1.4 (current development head), but should not
make a difference.
