Sync Fails on Mac App Launch
See original GitHub issueEnvironment info
- OS: OSX 10.12.5 Sierra
- App Version: 1.5.0
Description of the problem / feature request / question:
This app used to work flawlessly for me a month ago, last time I used it. Now the sync fails every time I launch the app. Please see the 2 screenshots uploaded, notice that it at first says sync succeeded and then immediately updates with another notification that says it failed. I reinstalled the app and get the same result. What do you recommend?
If possible, provide a sample gist or screenshot:

This is a bug that should get fixed actually. The v1.5.0 treats an insignificant warning as a fatal error when failing to cache the profile image. That’s the reason why deleting the cache folder helps.
Might be fixed by deleting
~/Library/Application Support/Lepton
