Link not working on recent OSX versions

[ribon3000]

When starting Tidal and attempting to connect Link-Enabled applications nothing happens. OSC communication works and i can use Tidal functions normally. I don't use SuperDirt or Supercollider so i don't know whether that's also affected.

at least 4 users on the forum seem to be having the same issue:

me and @eyd are on OSX Sonoma, @sherwood is on ventura 13.6.2

i've installed tidal using the automatic script from the tidal website.

my versions: M1 MBP 2020 OSX Sonoma 14.1.2 (23B92) cabal-install version 3.10.2.0 compiled using version 3.10.2.1 of the Cabal library The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 9.8.1 TidalCycles version 1.9.4

After wiping the hard drive and installing OSX Monterey 12.7.2 (21G1974) Link works as expected.

Hmm it's hard to know what the problem might be :/ E.g. could be a security setting, or some problem with Haskell.

I can see there's a flurry of commits to the link library a few months ago. I think probably just updating tidal to the latest link would solve it.

I've released a new tidal-link candidate here: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/tidal-link-1.0.2/candidate

We could just release it and bump the dependency on https://hackage.haskell.org/package/tidal (on hackage, without needing to do a new release)

We should do some testing first though, at least checking it still works on any platform.

Ok I've released tidal-link version 1.0.2 which should hopefully work with newer mac os versions.

If you reinstall tidal after a cabal update it should install with tidal-link-1.0.2

awesome, thank you for the quick fix! confirmed working by the first forum user already 🙂

@ribon3000 excellent :)
