From version 1.3.6 onward, YWallet is signed and notarized. This removes the "Apple can’t check app for malicious software" pop up and allow smooth installation. However, it removes the sandbox and changes the home directory. The old wallet files are in the old location.

To copy them to the new location, run

cp -r $HOME/Library/Containers/me.hanh.ywallet/Data/databases $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/me.hanh.ywallet

or use the Finder

An issue similar to this is also present with the flatpak build for v1.3.6 Tested on Ubuntu 20.04

Flatpak and flathub have different sandboxes.

I have been upgrading the app by downloading and installing the flatpak file from ywallet.app When I upgrade to 1.3.6, my wallet is not detected. As soon as I installed the 1.3.3 version, it worked again.

Did 1.3.6 change the sandbox from flatpak default to flathub default? Or, do you mean that if I install the app through flatpak and flathub, I will have different sandbox? To be clear, I have only been installing the flatpak files downloaded from the website.
