MM crashes on Mojave

#2081

when starting the app it crashes right away. when starting from terminal, it starts, but reports:

MailMate[23679:193481] CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): Old-style plist parser: missing semicolon in dictionary on line 7. Parsing will be abandoned. Break on _CFPropertyListMissingSemicolon to debug.

    Just in case, do you have developer tools installed (in particular, lldb)?

    The crash report is not very helpful, but it might show that the problem is related to sending crash reports. I'll check that when I'm on Mojave and then I might have more questions.

    Came here via Twitter (https://twitter.com/mailmateapp/status/1036181340885016576). I launched the app via lldb and this is its output!

    Process 38295 launched: '/Applications/MailMate.app/Contents/MacOS/MailMate' (x86_64)

    Can I help any further?

    @Joris: Thanks, it looks like something that should be reproducible. (It does not look like the same issue as reported by the OP.) I expect to look into various Mojave issues tomorrow.

    @Joris: I'm now on the latest release of Mojave (Beta 10.14, 18A377a). After some experiments I managed to reproduce the issue. I'll let you know when it's fixed.

    @Joris: You can download a fixed release here (r5518).

    @Michael: I also assume this does not fix your issue.

    • State changed from new to cantreproduce

    @Joris: Thanks for letting me know.

    @Michael: I'm going to mark the ticket as cantreproduce for now, but let me know if this is still reproducible and I'll see if I can find some way to debug it.
