Issue: Automatic Mouse Mover App not working with MacOS Sonoma #47

Open sasanicolette opened 11 months ago

sasanicolette commented 11 months ago

Problem Description: The application, which is crucial for preventing system inactivity, has been acting up lately. It seems to randomly stop functioning, causing disruptions in our workflow and potentially leading to unwanted system lockouts.

Application version: V.1.2.0 Operating system: MAC OS 14.0 Beta (23A5328b)

Thanks for your attention to this matter!

Can you try to stop the app, remove all amm permissions in the privacy/accessibility. Start again the app, and grant them required access. Is it better?

have tried that now and will report back, thanks.

fantaaaaaa commented 8 months ago

Seems to be running now (for about 3 hours without a hiccup). Removing and readding for permissions seems to be the fix.

Good luck, hope so for you, for me that did not fix it... I continued to come back to a screensaver :(

For me is working, I delete the app in permission area and add it again... now is working... I have a new update waiting (14.2.1) and want to check if I have again the problem, if yes, we can close the ticket with the conclusion: "permission level"

Just to update here. Mac OS Sonoma 14.2. and AMM 1.3.0 are running smoothly. If there are crashes, this seems to resolve it:

stop the app, remove all amm permissions in the privacy/accessibility. Start again the app, and grant them required access. Maybe this should be documented or something :)

Unfortunately, AMM will still crash randomly. Sometimes only after a few minutes, sometimes it will run a few hours. Any way to check any log files?

Resousse commented 7 months ago

Sure @fantaaaaaa , you can launch AMM via terminal, and it will display crash report (as one of the comment above)

sacrezm commented 7 months ago

also have the issue on mac OS 13.6

iwishiknewcoding commented 3 months ago

I also have the same issue on Sonoma 14.1.1. Both crashing and dragging.

I have a simple python script that checks if amm is running every 30 seconds. If it is not open, it will launch the app & continue checking every 30 seconds.

In case it will help anyone: https://github.com/CarpeBrawndo/amm_check

@CarpeBrawndo Thanks, this is useful, I started to use it, but won't the log file take up a lot of disk space if left unattended for a long time?

Before upgrading to the new version:

  1. Remove amm from the preferences, via the minus sign button: image
  2. Delete the app from Applications folder
  3. Install the new one
  4. To omit unknown developer warnings call xattr -cr amm.app from the terminal opened in the Applications folder
  5. Open the app and grant permissions
