GH Desktop stopped working after update to MacOS 13 Ventura

See original GitHub issue

The problem

After upgrading to Ventura, GH Desktop stopped working on my M1 MacMini. No issues before with the 5-6 connected repo prior to upgrade. After launching it will go through its normal startup and while sitting there will start throwing errors after 10 seconds or so. I am assuming that the errors are being caused by GHD starting its scan of the current repo.

If you dismiss the errors and wait another 10 seconds or so, the errors will pop back up. At no point can I try to commit or publish.

I have tried removing the GHD directory from ~/Library/Application Support/ and removing GHD.app and then reinstalling with a fresh download from the website.

I have also made sure that my XCode CLI tools are up to date.

Release version

3.1.2 (arm64)

Operating system

MacOS 13.0 Ventura

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Launch GHD
Wait 10 seconds after selecting a Repo (if one isn’t already selected)

Log files

No response

I was having the same issue, running all my projects from a Google Drive. I moved them all to my Mac then “found” the folders in Desktop and everything started working again with no errors. Just FYI.

I had the same issue but things seem to work as normal after I cloned my repo to my macs HD instead of the Google Drive virtual one
