IPFS Desktop App 0.19.3 Crashes on macOS #1985
Comments
Same on macOS both Catalina and High Sierra (10.15.7 and 10.13.6) with IPFS Desktop v0.19.3. Steps to reproduce.

Thank you very much!! I'll give this a try. Further proof we are not islands. I appreciate your help…;-) |
Unfortunately, still can’t connect. Followed clean install directions explicitly and v19.3 still cannot connect. Like I mentioned, I’m not a terminal guy…just an end-user. Any other helpful suggestions?

(Sorry for delay...projects and life) I have exhausted my understanding on my side. I've deleted files, restarted multiple times. I'm at the mercy of you…and hopefully "lidel"…to help me figure this out...pretty please? Could not attach JSON file, but here's the text: |
FYI: I'm running a 2010 MacPro (monster) tower, MacOS High Sierra, v10.13.6 |
…back to normal, but that's NOT been the case. |
@MattJohnsonMusic happy to hear it eventually got resolved for you 👍 I suspect the problem was introduced when you tried to manually fix 0.18 installation (which had a broken autoupdate logic), and that impacted the behavior of 0.19.3 (either via broken config or repo still being around). I know this is frustrating, but should be less likely to occur in the future – we removed legacy code that was specific to macOS, and use a more robust autoupdate code path in 0.19.3+ which should make future updates way safer. |
NO…not corrected...don't close yet...NOT FIXED...help |
I still can't connect to IPFS API through Desktop app...and do not know how to fix/correct? |
|
I tried adding suggested API address, but Desktop app kept crashing. |
Hello. Downloaded/installed v20. No luck. Desktop app still crashes. Seems to be a SIGABRT abort going on...don't understand what that means or how to correct issue. Attaching logs. Sorry this remains an issue, but I still need help. 👉️ Click to expand `Apple Crash Report`

Thank you @MattJohnsonMusic
Are you able to update to a more modern version of macOS and see if that solves the problem? |
DRATS! My workhorse computer is still functional for my audio/video needs, and I don't think I can update the OS anymore. My older hardware doesn't have the latest/greatest graphic card (or something). • I'm REALLY wanting to run a node and keep all my assets pinned, etc. Gotta figure this out. Thanks for your continued help, |
I really want to upgrade my OS, but Apple won't let me, because I'm too poor to get into the Apple ecosystem. 😭 A wise man once said, " My current solution is to install and update IPFS via ipfs-update and use the go-ipfs WebUI for the user interface. Yes, the command-line stuff. There were some issues, but once they were solved it works like a charm.

Wow, thank you VERY much for all of this work. |
Okay...going to give all this a try today…wish me luck! |
YIPPEE!! After deleting some hidden files (thanks to above pointers), I tried installing the newest IPFS Desktop App...and it worked! At least for now. I did not have to jump through all the above hoops (yet), but REALLY appreciate the time given to help me. I can follow directions line-by-line pretty well, so thanks. I really hope I don't have this issue again with upgrades. Thank you, thank you. |
I will close this as it seems to be fixed for you. For anyone reading this in the future, there seems to be a bug causing a similar error: #2000. |

Trying to get out of recent Restart loop in earlier IPFS Desktop version, now version 0.19.3 crashes app. I'm not able to rejoin IPFS via Desktop app. I'm long time Mac-based End User, and not into programming or using Terminal to correct.
Help, please?
