Same build works perfectly on macOS Ventura.

This app is UI-less, notarized and has several system entitlements (if it is relevant). We thought the Xcode version might be related, but since this App is supposed to be released before Xcode 14 is out, we do not wish to build a production app using a beta IDE.

Is this a known issue? Is there something we can do about it?

  • Rebooting the machine solves the issue, but of course this is not a solution one can give to users.
