1.6 on macOS Sierra gives Problem dialogue every launch

Sorry for the delay. We've been investigating this and have hopefully found the problem. We are hoping to get an update out in the next 48 hours.

Does that fix the Undo bug too?

Great to hear! I'll look forward to the fix.

Hey guys,
So there is good news and bad news. The good news is that I've been able to fix the crash on launch that some people have been experiencing.
The bad news is that in rectifying the undo problem I've discovered a far, far worse problem with the underlying text view in macOS Sierra. A test app, crash report and video has been sent to Apple and we're waiting to hear back from them.
Hopefully they'll come back with a simple fix.
Cheers
Tom

Thanks for keeping us updated. A shame this wasn't uncovered with the GM seed.
Any chance you might share your text view diagnosis on e.g. https://openradar.appspot.com/ ? That could get other developers to file duplicate bugs and help the bug be noticed and fixed.

Sure, radar's as follows.
NSTextView is unusable

https://openradar.appspot.com/radar?id=6132649148022784The text view in Sierra wasn't actually busted until just before the GM came out. All our apps were working perfectly from the first beta, then something changed and messed it all up

That's great. I hope they react eventually. I'm probably going to upgrade to the 10.12.1 beta just to see if anything is fixed in this regard.
-
Heh, you brave old soul you!.. It'll be interesting to hear how you get on
Cheers

Still no dice on the just released third beta - all symptoms seem to be fully intact.

Just updated after months away and discovered this issue. I found the forum and was glad to know it was not my fault! Waiting with 'bated breath (not) for Apple to resolve this. A big disappointment, since I was trying to produce a newsletter with Markdown!

@tom What news re bug with Focused and MacOS Sierra not working?
-
Hey guys,
I've just launched Focused 2, a free upgrade for current users and it works on Sierra
The app has also been transferred to Codebots.co.uk, a company that I'm the founder of.
71Squared has historically targeted developers and pro users with tools like Particle Designer and Glyph Designer. Last year 71Squared acquired Focused and Deep Dreamer from Realmac Software. We've loved taking on the responsibility of these apps, but at the same time it's distracted us from what 71Squared set out to achieve.
The update should 'just work' with your current license, so go ahead and give it a try.
Cheers
Tom
