Xojo foobared on BS

Targets macOS
1

I have been running 2019r3.2 and things to come successfully on macOS BS in the last weeks. Yesterday I installed the latest MBS version. Today I wanted to prepare for beta 3 of BS and quit Xojo. I then noticed that the download would take 8 hours and wanted to restart Xojo. But both Xojo versions hang on loading plugins. I could see a window blinking every couple of seconds. With a screenrecorder I could see that one of the MBS plugins did a check.

I deleted all Xojo files in the cache folder. But Xojo didn’t start.

I installed an older version of MBS and did a reboot. The story could have a happy ending because Xojo started fine. But then I tried to open my main project and got a nice hard crash.

What else can I try?

I removed all plugins and let Xojo compile my project. Then I loaded the plugins again, the project loads fine. Unfortunately, now Xojo crashes on run:

And now I’m finished for today.

I’m assuming based on that crash log that your project (or part of your project) is in XML format. We are aware of an issue with the XML plugin reading files from disk in apps running under Rosetta (unfortunately it was filed after 3.2 was released), but at the moment it looks like a macOS bug so we’re waiting for a little bit to see if Apple will actually resolve it on their own.

5

I’m using a garden variety MacBook Air without Rosetta. The second time around the project was loaded fine. What about the LLVM problem? I’m going to install beta 3 first, then I’ll reinstall Xojo and if that also doesn’t work I’ll try from a second user.

6

I have been debugging with 2019r3.2 on Big Sur Beta 3, but I have absolutely minimal plugins and I use the binary file format.

7

After installing beta 3 of BS Xojo 2019r3.2 is working again. Darn app has lost the license again.

Sigh…

Xojo crashed again:

At least I was able to a debug run a couple of times.
