New Launcher 0.2 not starting on OS X

The OS X version (not the .jar version!) of the new launcher(0.2) does not startup on OS X.
When starting the application is pops up in the 'applications-bar' at the bottom of my screen, and in less than a second disappears again.

The .jar version, however, does work.

Launcher 0.2 still works for me in OS X 10.8.3.

Redownload, I messed something up, that build as online for ~20 mins orso.

it still doesn't work 😞

It is fixed now with the new build;

I do have to say that the new Launcher does not appear on the Launchpad,
but I do not know if it is supposed to or not.

I have no idea what makes things appear at the launchpad ... so I dont even know if it is intended or not 😛

Never mind! I rebooted OS X and it appeared, issue solved 🙂

Still doesn't work for me, get's stuck at the MOJANG screen. The jar version doesn't work either, it just exits.

pastebin of dev console from the launcher: http://pastebin.com/NsEG536t

EDIT: Retried the current .jar: behaves exactly the same as the .dmg version.

Please, any hints?

Me and Grum figured it out on MC-14073, the solution is to close the launcher, then open the terminal(located in Applications>Utilities) and copy and paste this into it:

find ~/Library/Application\ Support/minecraft/assets/ -name .DS_Store -exec rm {} \;

then press enter, and reopen the mac launcher. This removes duplicate .DS_Store files in the assets folder

if the above command returns an error, try this one:

find ~/Library/Application\ Support/minecraft/assets/ -name .DS_Store -exec /bin/rm -f – {} \;

Disregard everything I said before. It now works after I tried
rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/minecraft/assets/DS_Store (with the filename in Asterisks to match any possible duplicates, but it's too late for me to figure out how to avoid making bold text out of asterisks in here)
I don't know why it didn't work the first time around, and now I feel silly. But well, thanks a lot! 🙂
