Apps that are Chromium or Electron base crashes on Catalina beta 6 (19A536g)
So I recently updated from beta 5 of Catalina to beta 6 and noticed more than half of my apps will crash after the initial launch, these apps include things like:
- Brave browser (beta, nightly)
- Chrome (tried beta as well)
- Chrome Canary (the same)
Any apps that are electronJS based such as: Spotify, Slack, Atom, VSCode & etc...
I have a hunch that it has something to do with a browser wrapper that can't be set
Already tried and failed:
sudo spctl --master-disable
Also re-installed apps, tried a whole different version and to no avail
is there anything I can do to fix this locally?
Solution 1:
Unfortunately, the best you can do is revert to Mojave. This is a bug in AppKit that Apple caused (and must soon fix). It persists in beta 7.
I can feel your pain. I need my Electron apps like VS Code and Insomnia. The bug also affects JetBrains apps like PyCharm and Android Studio (based off IntelliJ).
