Bug Description PlutoSDR is missing from the list of signal sources.

Screenshots

Additional info I deleted the ~/Library/Application Support/sdrpp/config.json. I also deleted the entire ~/Library/Application Support/sdrpp directory. This did not give any result.

The libiio library is installed. Other applications like GQRX work with both USB and network connection.

Can you please tell me where I can find this log file?

[AlexandreRouma]

There is no log file. Open a terminal and run /path/to/the/SDR++.app/Contents/MacOS/sdrpp -c Then, post the entire logs from start to after the issue. DOT NOT truncate to where you think the error is...

[denisbondar]

It should be noted that I have libxml2 installed using brew.

$ ls /opt/homebrew/Cellar/libxml2/2.12.6/lib/
cmake           libxml2.2.dylib libxml2.dylib   pkgconfig       python3.11      python3.12

However, judging by the log, the library file should be inside app.

[AlexandreRouma]

no libxml2 is supposed to come with every MacOS install.

[denisbondar]

How can I solve this problem on my side?
