Bug description

I'm currently running two instances of Nextcloud 29.0.4. I was running the latest Nextcloud desktop release on Mac OS Sonoma. Last week I switched to Mac OS Sequoia developer beta 5. Yesterday I upgraded to developer beta 6.

Nextcloud client is not syncing anymore. I'm missing the icon in the menu bar on top. I did a complete reinstall. Installation runs smooth but the sync icon still not appears. So ,nothing is synced. Behavior in independent of VF- or Non-VF-version. Are you aware of this?

Steps to reproduce

Remove installed desktop client completely
Install the latest version of the client
Grant accèss to the Nextcloud instance
Sync screen shortly appears and disappears
No sync is happening ...

Expected behavior

Should work as with Mac OS Sonoma (previous release of Mac OS).

Everything looks good now. And the icon in the menu bar on top is also there. So the current situation is not stable. Sometimes it's working, sometimes it's not.

I have new infos regarding this issue. I tried several things. Currently I have a situation where VFS is working. But it's a little bit curious. Let's assume I have two Nextcloud instances: cloud.example1.com and cloud.example2.com. During initial installation of Nextcloud Desktop Client, it connects successfully with cloud.example1.com and I can grant access rights. Coming back to the installation screen, I have to decide about the folder (default ist "nextcloud") and if I want to fully sync all data or pick only dedicated folders. I'm missing the option to use only vfs here. Anyway. When I pick one folder to sync, the sync starts, the icon appears and I can open settings. In folder synchronization I can switch to VFS. After connecting to cloud.example2.com I see four directories in Finder:

Under Favories: 1) Nextcloud_AB (AB stands for the cloud name) 2) Nextcloud CD (dito) When I open these directories I see only the folders which I tagged for permanent sync

Under Location (Orte): 1) Nextcloud - <mail address of user in Nextcloud cloud.example.com) 2) Nextcloud - <mail address of user in Nextcloud cloud.example2.com) When I open one of those folders I see all (VFS) folders.

Here I have some questions: 1) What happens when the connected user has the same credentials (esp. the mail address)? 2) Why the two folders under Favorites? 3) Why can't I choose VFS on the syncing screen of the installation process, which means "use only VFS" without permanent synching.

Hope that helps for further research.
