Description

Lighting Labs Desktop App (Mac OSX) not working with testnet

Steps to reproduce the behavior

The proper Staring App via opt into testent:

./dist/mac/Lightning.app/Contents/MacOS/Lightning --bitcoin.testnet --bitcoin.node=neutrino --neutrino.addpeer=btcd-testnet.lightning.computer --neutrino.feeurl=https://nodes.lightning.computer/fees/v1/btc-fee-estimates.json

Expected behavior

App launches without any errors and connects to testnet.

Actual behavior

Errors prevent the app from opening to testnet:

Is this app still working for others on the testnet?

I was able to revolve my issue by deleting the files where my testnet wallet was stored. On a Mac (OSX) the files are stored here:

OSX: ~/Library/Application Support/lightning-app

After deleting this directory and re-installing the .dmg file to Applications, I was able to create a new wallet on the testnet and fund the new wallet with testnet BTC.
