I am trying to open Facebook Messenger on my app. It opens so far as I can see my contacts, but before I can see my messages it closes. Then Terminal gives me this message:

Last login: Fri Dec 3 08:49:11 on ttys001 /Applications/Messenger.app/Contents/MacOS/Messenger ; exit; [myusername]@iMac ~ % /Applications/Messenger.app/Contents/MacOS/Messenger ; exit; zsh: abort /Applications/Messenger.app/Contents/MacOS/Messenger Saving session... ...copying shared history... ...saving history...truncating history files... ...completed.

[Process completed]

Any suggestions how to open this app.

Hi @jtyne, are you double clicking directly on /Applications/Messenger.app/Contents/MacOS/Messenger? Try double clicking on /Applications/Messenger.app instead. If you're trying to launch the app from the command line, try the open utility, i.e. open /Applications/Messenger.app/Contents/MacOS/Messenger. Note that this will cause a terminal window to remain open as long as the app is open, because your Messenger instance is running as a child process of the zsh process in Terminal.
