Just had an issue with BTT not opening after updating to the latest version.
My mac is not very up-to-date, so I'm pretty sure this is the reason.
I thought the app might be corrupted, but reinstalling did not resolve this.
For now I ended up installing an older version of BBT and it's working again, till i'm on the latest OS again.
Just wanted to post this in case someone had the same issue recently.
Saw @Andreas_Hegenberg recommend on another blog, changing the folder name under application support, but that just deleted entire setup and also now when importing a saved preset, the app just crashes.
I'm having this problem too. MBP 16" 2019, 2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9, 16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, Ventura 13.5.2 (22G91). It's just stuck in a deathloop – I see it pop up in the menu bar and then disappear after a second. Worse, it seems to be interrupting my typing, as I'm seeing keystrokes vanish.
I have a bunch of .ips files from console crash reports but can't seem to attach.
I am currently running on MacOS Sonoma, and I can't even open BetterTouchTool anymore.
Everytime I try to start the App, it shuts down before any window is opened.
I can very shortly see the icon appear in the touchbar, and then it shuts down again.
@nshady Could you try removing BTT from the list in System Preferences => Privacy & Security => Accessibility, then add it again? Your crash logs look like macOS doesn't remember the permission was granted.
//Edit for anybody else trying this: quit BTT before doing this.
Well, that turned out to be a bit of a trap, because when I deactivated it (BTT still running – mistake), it recognised the deactivation of privileges and prompted going to System Settings... but the MBP stopped acknowledging all keyboard input and clicks. Had to hard restart.
On restart BTT asked for privileges again but this time I could activate it – and then BTT crashed again. Now it's back up... seemingly stable ish?? But I'll send through two more crash reports.
Oh I didn't know that macOS bug was still there (freezing the system when removing running apps from that list) ;-( I have reported that a loong time ago to Apple.
But it sounds like this was some permission issue then. Not sure if the other reports here are the same issue. Looking at the crash logs I think this thread has multiple different issues come together.
Will let you know if it starts misbehaving again. Hopefully it was just something funky happening during the update process and now permissions have been regranted it will be stable.
